		Perhaps Norvo's efforts were diffused over too much ground, from traditional to modern, hot to cool, making it difficult for the jazz world to fit him into a neat and memorable pigeonhole.
		Norvo's curse was his devotion to the unwieldy mallet instruments -- the xylophone, the marimba, the vibraphone -- which have always been at the periphery, never the center, of jazz styles and revolutions.
		Norvo's recordings are either unavailable or found on obscure labels from remote places.

		Norvo was not only first to make a jazz instrument of the xylophone, but also an unusually adventurous musician, one of those who realized that the 'swing band' was an ensemble for which good music could be written.
		He studied piano as a child; went to Chicago at 17 and soon led a marimba band; later had solo vaudeville act including tap-dancing; led a band '29, became a staff musician at NBC with Victor Young, then Paul Whiteman, met Mildred Bailey: they were married and went to NYC with Whiteman.
		Dave Kapp at Brunswick Records tore up Norvo's contract when he heard it; it is said to be only thanks to the producer Morty Palitz that the recording wasn't destroyed, and to John Hammond that it was actually issued the following year; and Norvo allegedly destroyed a stack of compositions in despair or anger.

		Red was very unhappy about doing so but in the end could not budge them and so with great reluctance, as he did not want to lose the TV opportunity altogether, asked Charlie if he would stand down for the TV shows while continuing with the trio at the Embers club.
		Red Norvo’s original first choice bassist Red Mitchell had been hospitalised for an extended period during 1950/1951 recovering from tuberculosis, but fortunately he was now recovered and so finally joined the trio he had been meant to be a founder member of.

		Guitarist Jimmy Raney and bassist Red Mitchell, two of the leading lights of the second bop wave, worked with the veteran Norvo (1908-1999) to develop chamber music of incomparable intricacy, intimacy, and swing.
		And it was Norvo whose trios of the 1950s remain superior examples of jazz in chamber settings.
		The leader’s economical, muted solos contrasted effectively with the bebop inflections and trigger-action solos of Raney and Farlow, respectively, and the lattice-like contrapuntal ensembles made the Red Norvo Trio one of the freshest sounding improvising units.

		Woodwinds were used for a lush blanket, and many albums had an unlikely feature: a four-movement suite (Bob Cooper recorded one; Shelly Manne had two!) Red Norvo was born elsewhere, but his gentle interplay with his trios and the Jazz Pickers put him squarely in the “West Coast” sound.
		This is a warm breeze of an album, as Red and a stellar cast run with chirping flutes, a floating guitar, and the smooth rolling vibes.
		Norvo has fun with the sad chords; Buddy turns on the sunshine, with lots of high dancing.

		This long overdue collection features Norvo’s virtuostic vibraphone playing, but while he comes from the big band school (having played with Paul Whitehead orchestra), the personel that surround Norvo provide a fascinating glimpse into an artist and a music in transition.
		Not concerned with whether a particular artist fit his style, it is apparent that Norvo on these two sessions was looking for musicians that could play and play brilliantly.
		On paper, this pairing shouldn’t work, but upon hitting the play button, it is more than evident that the musicians were there to serve the music not their particular styles and the result is nothing short of wonderful.

	Robert Christgau: CG: Frank Sinatra With the Red Norvo Quintet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		With an official live corpus comprising little beyond Vegas dates, statuesque concert stuff, and an insensate 1962 small-group session, this cleanly remastered version of a tape legendary among the bootleggers he's served so well belongs in a canon that's already as outsized as his FBI file.
		True, it does sample his sense of humor, and although the economy of crack bandleader Norvo offers relief from his usual arrangers, even the greatest vibes players do inevitably play the vibraphone.
		Its light, relaxed, groove-powered phrasing may not mean as much as the endless timbral subtlety of his studio work, but it gives up the fun his patter misses, as well as the spontaneous musicality those who think him "merely" pop claim isn't there.

	Jazzmatazz Review - Savoy Jazz: Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker & Red Norvo
		I can only conclude by saying that, besides giving me a renewed appreciation of Gillespie as performer, entertainer (that Armstrong "thing") and peripatetic artist, there was both wonderment and plain entertainment found in the hours of listening to these recordings.
		And they catalog some of the works most associated with the alto giant, in particular "Koko" and "Anthropology." The liner notes speak of the "constant innovation and occasional uncertainties" of these performances, a fair reflection of their imbalance and their treasured status.
		It deserves note that much if not all of the Bird and Norvo has been released before, so these are new packagings/combinations of already available material.

	Red Saunders Discography
		Red did move there as soon as his 4 weeks at the Capital were up; his 6-week contract (plus options) with the Garrrick was accepted and filed on August 2, 1945.
		Red seems to have brought everyone he had at the Club DeLisa to this session; it is the first one that he made with a big band (in fact, it includes four saxes where his later DeLisa bands usually carried three).
		Although Red Saunders got in on the ground floor at Vee-Jay (the Count Morris track is known, and he almost certainly accompanied the Rhythm Aces on their second session), it was Al Smith and company who would become the house band.
