Details: Bird Call is a quite obscure release from a Los Angeles-based alto saxophonist named Vi (Elvira) Redd, a blues infected player, singer and educator who since the early '50s has performed with many jazz greats like Dexter Gordon, Max Roach, Roland Kirk, Count Basie, and others.Originally released in 1962, Bird Call was Redd's debut album, a hard swinging studio session featuring a top-class band that included pianist Russ Freeman, Leroy Vinnegar or Bob Whitlock on bass, guitarist Herb Ellis, trumpeter Carmell Jones, vibraphonist Roy Ayers, and her then-husband, Richie Goldberg, on drums.Another invaluable document from the historical L.A.Black community jazz scene.
