    All Music Guide Review

    Savoy Blues explores sessions recorded between 1944 through 1994 (although the actual last date was 1992) for the legendary West Coast label. While the material had been previously released on similar Savoy compilations, these tracks hadn't been heard in these cleaned-up incarnations, using 24-bit digital transfers from the original acetates and tape masters. Hearing these cleaned-up tracks by Big Joe Turner, Johnny Otis, Billy Eckstine, Big Maybelle, and Joe Williams is a pleasure and will even impress the most picky audiophile. Lovingly compiled, produced, and annotated by Billy Vera, Savoy Blues is a must. ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide
