    Show - Savoy Sultans! 1938-41

    Al Cooper's Savoy Sultans were the house band at the legendary Savoy Ballroom in New York City from 1937-1946 and so must have pleased the pickiest dancers in the world!  While their music (between a combo and a big band) was not subtle or sophisticated, it swung hard and was the bane of many better known groups who came up against it.  Here are most of their Decca sides from the period, featuring the leader on clarinet, Rudy Williams on alto, George Kelly, Ed McNeil and Irving Brown on tenor, Pat Jenkins and Sam Massenburg on trumpets, Cyril Haynes on piano, Grachan Moncur on bass and Alex Mitchell on drums
