Lloyd GLENN

(9CD)
 BIOGRAPHY 
        
Lloyd Glenn (November 21, 1909 — May 23, 1985) was an American R&B pianist, bandleader and arranger, who was a pioneer of the "West Coast" blues style.

Born in San Antonio, Texas, from the late 1920s, Glenn played with various jazz bands in the Dallas and San Antonio areas, first recording in 1936 with Don Albert's Orchestra.

He moved to California in 1941, joining the Walter Johnson trio in 1944, and finding employment as a session musician and arranger. He accompanied T-Bone Walker on his 1947 hit "Call It Stormy Monday", and later the same year made his own first solo records, billed as Lloyd Glenn and His Joymakers.

In 1949 he joined Swing Time Records as A&R man, and recorded a number of hits with Lowell Fulson, including "Everyday I Have the Blues" and the #1 R&B hit "Blue Shadows". He also had major R&B hits of his own, with "Old Time Shuffle Blues" (#3 U.S. Billboard R&B chart in 1950) being followed by "Chica Boo", which also made #1 on the R&B chart in June 1951......

@ Chris-France, it's a good idea to thank the original posters/rippers and if unknown place NMR (not my rip) by the lp's/cd's you post if they're not your own.
You're always welcome to use my rips but please not so quickly after I've posted it on my own blog, see Llyod Glenn - Piano Stylings.

Thanks very much for the 1954-57 material.

I'm longing to replace the 1980 B&B album I used to have - 'Blues & Boogies'. Any chance?
