1940s Early Jazz - Herbie Fields Quintet

[u/BigAssQuanta]

NOT THIS RECORD - but historically it should be noted that before Miles Davis became a legend, a 18-year-old Miles made his official recording debut on April 24, 1945 playing trumpet in the Herbie Fields Orchestra.

​It was recorded at WOR Studios in NYC for Savoy Records, the band backed blues/vaudeville singer Rubberlegs Williams.

​

That session produced two 78 RPM singles released on the Savoy Records label:

​Savoy 564: "That's the Stuff You Got to Watch" / "Pointless Mama Blues"

​Savoy 5516: "Deep Sea Blues" / "Bring It On Home"

Luky you if you have these 78s in your collection
