The stereo revolution began in late 1957, when Sidney Frey of Audio Fidelity Records cut the first LP with the new sonic format and played it on December 13 for an audience in the auditorium at The New York Times on West 43d St. Within months, every major label was recording orchestral jazz to show off stereo's new dynamic fidelity. Sal Salvador was among those in the stereo vanguard. Salvador is probably best known as the Stan Kenton Orchestra's guitarist ...

Yesterday, I posted on French singer-entertainer Henri Salvador and his career up until his semi-retirement at age 78 in 1995.

Ventura and his band were preparing to leave ...

Sal Salvador is best known as Stan Kenton's guitarist from 1953 to 1955, at which point he left the band to work as a freelance small-group leader and studio musician.

The Dauntless label tapped Salvador for a third album. Dauntless was a subsidiary of Audio Fidelity Records and managed ...

The Latin Jazz Corner by Chip Boaz
Some of the most interesting musicians are the ones that influence their peers but escape notice of the larger listening audiences around the world.
