1945 sessions
Some years ago, Definitive Records issued a 2-CD set called The Complete Dial Masters. Confusingly, it concludes with four tracks recorded in 1945 in New York (with Red Norvo as leader), which would (presumably) be the wrong time and place for Dial Records (which was founded in 1946 in L.A.). According to allmusic, these were technically the first tracks recorded for Dial, hence their inclusion in the Definitive set. However, allmusic doesn't go into the details as to how and why the tracks actually belonged to Dial. The Definitive liner notes don't go into details, either, except to mention only that the Norvo tracks have been appended to the rest of the Dial masters. Can anyone fill in the blanks, assuming this article is a good place to do it? Thanks, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 02:08, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
