Jazztropic Posted March 31, 2005 Report Posted March 31, 2005 Is this cd a good place to start after the Pasadena concert of 1949? Thanks Quote
BERIGAN Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 Is this cd a good place to start after the Pasadena concert of 1949? Thanks Your best bet would be to get the 4 cd set from Proper Bop for the People (I think the cd you mentioned is from that box set.) I know some people have issues with this label, but they always have thick, informative booklets, discographies, and decent sound. It's just under $25 at Amazon... track listing at allmusic. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&t...10:1fkpu3t0an8k Quote
jazzbo Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 I guess that is a good set. . . . Myself I got all of the Chronogical Classics under his name and really enjoy them. Great playing, great sidemen, great sound. Quote
BERIGAN Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 (edited) I guess that is a good set. . . . Myself I got all of the Chronogical Classics under his name and really enjoy them. Great playing, great sidemen, great sound. Well, for getting the Pasadena concerts Jazztropic it should be . The Classics won't cover the concert, correct??? The informative booklet makes getting the box worth it as well. High on an Open Mike is the name of disc 2 in this set, and doesn't cover the concert, disc 4 does though. I'll definitely get the classics someday! Well, as long as Classics is able to stick around.... Edited April 5, 2005 by BERIGAN Quote
jazzbo Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 Yeah, I'm sortof down on Proper boxes. I think they could sound better, but don't for obvious reasons, like they don't have original source metal masters, etc. nor a big remastering budget. The booklets are okay. . . they don't speak to ME because they're not geared to ME. So to new listeners to players I guess they work out fine. I also hate how they rarely include complete sessions and again, a new listener won't be too worried about that. So it's a good recommendation Ber. I believe I have the concert on a GNP Crescendo disc, but yeah, the Classics don't have this. But what they do have is so good! Quote
WD45 Posted April 5, 2005 Report Posted April 5, 2005 When I first glanced at the thread title, I thought that this was going to be a link to a Buddy Rich-styled rant or some such thing. "Clams!" Quote
BERIGAN Posted April 6, 2005 Report Posted April 6, 2005 Well, clearly my eyes are failing me...I would have bet money Jazztropic asked was this cd a good place to go after(Look for) the Pasadena concert, not start after the concert...time to take some geritol Quote
