In The Late 1950s Frank Guida Founded His Legrand Record Label In Norfolk, Virginia And Set About Producing Some Of The Most Exciting Sounds To Hit The Airwaves At The Turn Of The Decade. Most Collectors Interested In This Period Are Well Acquainted With The Knockout Chart Hits Of Us Bonds, Particularly New Orleans At The End Of 1960 And Quarter To Three In The Summer Of 1961, But How Many Fans Are Familiar With The Records By Bonds' Fabulous Studio Backing Band, The Church Street Five?
The "Five" Were Seasoned Musicians Drawn From The Local Club Scene, Steeped In The Hot, Raw, Black Music Tradition Of The 50s. Tenor Sax Man Earl Swanson And Drummer Nabs Shields Provided That Distinctive Instrumental Sound On New Orleans And Were The Nucleus Of Guida's House Band, Usually Augmented By Trombone, Guitar, Bass, Piano Or Organ.
Another Local Saxman With A Unique Sound, Gene "Daddy G" Barge, Cut The First Legrand Disc To Be Credited To The Church Street Five - A Night With Daddy G Parts 1 &
2. A Regional Hit Which Bubbled Under The Billboard Hot 100, This Was The First Of A Series Of Hot Instrumentals By The Band. It Was Also The Musical Inspiration For Quarter To Three And Set The Trend For Gary Us Bonds' Run Of Hits Throughout 1961 And 1962, All Of Which Featured A Hot Sax Solo And The Pounding Rhthym Section Of The Church Street Five.
If You Dig Us Bonds And Jimmy Soul, Or Those Wild Sax Solos On The Champs And Duane Eddy Records, Then This Collection Is For You! For Those Of You Who Don't Know The Church Street Five Records, Imagine The Excitement Going On In The Background On A Us Bonds Session And You Have An Idea Of The Sound.
This Represents The Definitive Package Of Recordings Released Between 1959 And 1964, Including Some Glorious Tracks Which Never Made It To Vinyl, In Particular A Superb Re-Make Of Gene Barge's Mid-50s Recording Country. An Essential Addition To The Collection For Bonds And Instrumental Fans Alike.
