Overview

Primarily Jazz --- 1984

Ⓟ Ⓒ 1984 Trend/Discovery Records On the Lp 3 different groups are represented: - Jazz Band I (Tracks A1 to B2) - Jazz Band II (Track B3) - Combo "The Connection" (Track B2) Primarily Jazz is a reissue album released by the Fullerton College Jazz Band for the Discovery Records Trend AM-PM label (original = AM-PM AM-13), it was the third release in as many years. The distinctive qualities about the LP that set it apart from numerous college jazz records (what people think of as promotional demos) is the fact it was a two year community college able to get on a label so quickly. Albert Marx, who was the owner of Discovery Records/Trend Records AM-PM label, became very impressed with the band and the level of the music coming from the jazz groups at Fullerton College. He decided to support the younger, up and coming jazz students/players from the greater Los Angeles/Southern California region by producing certain LPs. The roster on this album is self-evident as to the diversity and level of student musicians Fullerton College developed at that time and has for many years. The track The Bop Brothers Beach Party track is also featured on the 1998 CD Celebration - The Fullerton College Jazz Festival 25th Anniversary
