Originally led by Al Cooper, the Savoy Sultans were known for kicking butt at the Savoy Ballroom in New York City, even when set against larger musical aggregations. The dancers and listeners alike loved them for their plaintive, hard-driving rhythmic style, so urgently riff-heavy, they might swing you into bad health! Jazz promoter George Wein helped Panama Francis take up the task of recreating the great sound of this classic American band in the 1980s, but Francis kept on keeping the band afloat, even after a long tenure at the Rainbow Room. These recordings from 1993 are an example of a live performance by the band in New York City, and features a mixture of young generals and swing legends alike. This concert\/dance celebrates Francis' seventy-fifth birthday (his actual birthday was on the 26th). Featured are Brian \"Lord\" Sledge, Joey \"G-Clef\" Cavaseno, Irvin Stokes, Harry Allen, Lawrence Lucie, Julia Steele, Leonard Gaskin, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSong Of The Islands (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStitches (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll God\u0026amp;#39;s Children (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Got The World On A String (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake The A Train (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHere Comes Panama (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn A Mellotone (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Got It Bad (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBill Bailey (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpanish Town (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll Too Soon (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePanama\u0026amp;#39;s Blues (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Cried For You (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUndecided (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeak Low (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn The Mood (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoneysuckle Rose (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStompin\u0026amp;#39; At The Savoy (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHappy Birthday (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlues In Bea\u0026amp;#39;s Flat (Live)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46986370121949,"sku":"686647018709","price":111.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/2267650.jpg?v=1762930892","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/zh-cn\/products\/panama-francis-panama-francis-and-the-savoy-sultans-75th-birthday-concert","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
