The King Twisters
Sax Kari, Kari Music Co. BMI
MasterCraft Productions 103
1961
This short-lived label was located in Detroit The Magnolias and The Mighty Cravers are the two other groups issued by the label.
I think it's safe to assume that MasterCraft Productions was owned by Sax Kari.
Isaac Saxton Kari Toombs was born in Chicago in 1920. Sax Kari, according to Preston Lauterbach [*] had done it all to make a buck in the
entertainment business: payola bagman, stand-up comedy second banana,
composer of blaxploitation film soundtrack—for The $6,000 Nigger to be
precise—emcee, leader of a big band, record producer, and talent broker,
for starters. He’d worked in virtually every city relevant to 20th
century American music, Memphis, New Orleans, Chicago, Miami, and New
York, and in every genre from swing to hip-hop.
Sax Kari died in Florida in 2009.
