Four Classic Albums: The Dave Pell Octet Plays Rodgers & Hart/The Dave Pell Octet Plays Irving Berlin/The Old South Wails/I Remember John Kirby

A fine jazz tenor sax player (he also played clarinet later in his career), Dave Pell recorded frequently in the 1950s and very early '60s. This two-disc set combines four of his LPs from this time period, 1953's The Dave Pell Octet Plays Irving Berlin, 1954's The Dave Pell Octet Plays Rodgers & Hart, 1957's The Old South Wails, and 1961's I Remember John Kirby, in a single package. ~ Steve Leggett
