- Savant Records July 9th, 2021 New Release
Record live in 1985 at the 1369 Club in Cabridge, MA
For five years in the mid-1980s, the 1369 Club in Cambridge, MA was a thriving, vibrant and colorful home to a diverse clientele and whose roster of performers was made up of top local and national jazz artists. For three nights in 1985 the awe-inspiring triumvirate of guitarist and Miles Davis alumnus Mike Stern, bassist Harvie S and Boston-based drummer Alan Dawson held court, delivering performances of great intensity, virtuosity and unforgettable excitement. Once the trio finished their three night run, it was thought the music went up into the ether to remain only as cherished musical memories to those in the audience. However, Harvie S knew that tapes of those evenings were in private hands and together with Barney Fields of Savant Records arranged for a selection from them to see the light of commercial release. So here are these thought-to-be lost performances back from the mists of time, capturing Harvie S, Mike Stern and Alan Dawson at the peak of their abilities. Mike Stern was about to release his first album as a leader, "Upside Downside," Alan Dawson was fresh from being the featured drummer on Muse Records' popular "Live at Sandy's" series and Harvie S had already played with greats such as Zoot Sims, Thad Jones, Gil Evans, Lee Konitz and Sheila Jordan, and continues to enjoy a long and extremely prolific career. So thanks to Harvie, Savant Records and all those who helped bring this project to fruition the laws of time and space are hereby suspended - if only for the length of this recording. Suddenly, it is 1985 again!

Great! I lived on Queensberry Street when Mike Stern did, 1978-82, studied with Alan Dawson, 1976. I used to sit on the steps across the street from Mike's apartment to listen to him practice. I saw him all the time in the hood, but was too intimidated to say hi. I was at Kix when he played with Miles in the 3rd row front. I saw him play many times in clubs before that. He was always great. I played 1369 myself from 1978-82 as a drummer and vibist. The last time I saw Alan there was after D Sharpe passed away and they had a drum tribute. Alan played at it. After he came over to me to say hi. I was honored he even remembered me. I am very happy people are recognizing the importance of Alan Dawson more. I hope I can contribute to that. Thank you.
Studied with Alan for 10 years - NONE BETTER THAN HIM! He was a genius! This sounds great!
I'm glad they found the recordings too.
This is one of my favorite recordings. I’ve witnessed all three of these great musicians live and locally played with Harvie too a few times - But never saw this trio - this one is really rare. There’s an electrical connection between the three players

Let me assure you, gentlemen, you both are SWINGING IT" (Thx's for your music!!!)
Wow, I wonder how many more gems will come out of that vault? What a great recording though. I remember hearing it on KCSM jazz radio here in the SF bay and having to pull over. It was so good that I had to just park and let it go through my soul.
Oh man....looking forward to getting it.
Mike was so incredibly burning at that time and Harvie always sounds great as well. I'm looking forward to this one
Trio fantastico
Giants! And some of the coolest people around... so much looking forward to hearing the full record!
Wow! Saw this on Mike's Instagram post. Totally getting this! Stern has always been a huge influence for me as a guitar player, in terms of his time feel and phrasing. Stellar musician! Thanks for this post!!
This is amazing! What a find!
Why doesn't Berklee have an Alan Dawson building? A good teacher produces students who go on to successful careers as teachers and players. He produced the most there and he lived and played in the Boston area. They have a Stan Getz Building. He was not from Boston or Berklee. He employed 3 musicians from Boston- Chick Corea, Roy Haynes, and Tony Williams. Rename the Stan Getz Building the Alan Dawson Building. Good for Boston. Good for Berklee. Good for music. Good for students. Good for teachers. Recognize the importance of teachers at an institution that professes to teach. I'm from Massachusetts-Framingham.
