The Changing Face Of Harlem, released on Savoy Records in 1976.

Founded by local entrepreneur Herman Lubinsky in Newark, New Jersey, in 1942, Savoy Records went on to become one of the USA's most important labels in jazz and R&B. The label didn't really take off until mid 1944 when it started recording musicians from the vibrant club scene in NYC, both from Harlem and 52nd Street. Savoy was one of a number of small labels in the New York area which picked up on the changes taking place in jazz at that time with other examples being Keynote, Blue Note, Beacon, Manor and National.

This two LP set compiles sides mostly recorded in 1944 with the exception of some Herbie Fields sides from May 1945. The dominant style is small group swing with only the faintest hint of the be bop to come with Charlie Parker's appearance on a couple of the Tiny Grimes tracks.''...

Portrait of Hugues Panassié and Tiny Grimes, New York, N.Y., between 1946 and 1948

This is a black and white photograph depicting a musical scene. In the foreground, there are two individuals seated: on the left is a person playing what appears to be a saxophone, and on the right is another individual who seems to be listening or engaged in conversation with the musician. Behind them stands a man wearing glasses, looking towards the musicians. He is dressed formally in a suit and tie, which suggests he may be an audience member or perhaps a band member not currently playing his instrument. The background is indistinct, but it appears to be an interior space, possibly a venue for music performances, given the presence of musical equipment. There is text overlaid on the image which provides information about the photograph: "Portrait of Hugues Panassié and Tiny Grimes, New York, N.Y., between 1946 and 1948." This indicates that the photo captures a moment in time during the 1940s when these musicians were active. The overall style of the image conveys a sense of nostalgia and historical significance, likely representing a significant period in jazz music history.
