[2] In the 1940s, Savoy recorded some of the biggest names in jazz, including Charlie Parker, Erroll Garner, Dexter Gordon, J. J. Johnson, Fats Navarro, and Miles Davis.
These included Paul Bley, Bill Dixon, Charles Moffett, Perry Robinson, Archie Shepp, Sun Ra, Marzette Watts, and Valdo Williams.
After Lubinsky's death in 1974, Clive Davis, then manager of Arista Records, acquired Savoy's catalogue.
At the same time, some of those people, many of them Newark's top singers and musicians, would never have been exposed on records if he didn't do what he did.
[6]Savoy's artistic directors included Buck Ram, Teddy Reig, Ralph Bass (1948–1952), Fred Mendelsohn (1953), and Ozzie Cadena (1954–1962).
