Cleveland was a jazz club label produced by the Cleveland Jazz
Club of London from 1949, and concentrated, at least initially, on
recordings by Freddy Randall & his Band. The records cost 7/6 and were
only available direct from the Club. I believe they were precorded by
Gui de Buire. Eight sides are known, numbered FR-1 to
FR-8 and it may be that these are the only issues, and once Freddy
Randall got a contract to record for Parlophone, no more Cleveland
records were produced? Below is an attempt to list these. The musicians in the band were: Freddy Randall (tpt), Ed Harvey (trmb), Bruce Truner (clt), Al Mead (pno), Bob Coram (gtr), Jack Surridge (bass), Harry Miller (drums). Thanks to Bill Dean-Myatt for the label scan, also to Ian Shortley & Martin Nieland for extra details. |
