Sundog Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Charles Tolliver Big Band, Disc 1 Absolutely top notch writing, arranging, playing etc. Nice notes as well. Mainly consisting of an enlightening interview with CT. Quote
golfcrazy1984 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 Just put in the Jimmie Lunceford disk 1. AMAZING sound and musicianship! I was wary because Andreas Meyer was the remastering guy (didn't care for the Armstrong or the Artie Shaw Mosaic sets sound...perhaps it was the best he could do). At any rate this should be a very fun next few weeks discovering this new music (to me)!!! Quote

At any rate this should be a very fun next few weeks discovering this new music (to me)!!! Just started listening to it myself last night and yes, great sound and musicianship. All I've had of the Lunceford Deccas are the two 1990s GRP compilations, so hearing this set promises to be a real revelation for me. Nice article by Marc Myers in the Wall Street Journal today: Swing's Forgotten King Charles Tolliver Big Band, Disc 1 Absolutely top notch writing, arranging, playing etc. Nice notes as well. Mainly consisting of an enlightening interview with CT. Got this one just yesterday along with the Lunceford and am going to feature them both on our weekday afternoon jazz show next month. Quote

golfcrazy1984 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 The Sarah Vaughan Roulette set. It's beautiful music, and of course, there's Sassy. Incomparable. Sure there's a lot of fluff and corny pop, but man, can she sing!!! Also, very nice sound quality in this set. Quote

Larry Kart Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 The Lunceford. Fascinating music (some of the early stuff new to me) and great sound so far. Quote
Joe Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 The Bennie Green select. I suppose BG was a modernist, but he's always appealed to me as a truly unclassifiable player (judicious use of vibrato, especially at the end of his phrases; an almost Prez-like rhythmic conception; totally at home with bop harmonies).

sidewinder Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 The Bennie Green select. I suppose BG was a modernist, but he's always appealed to me as a truly unclassifiable player (judicious use of vibrato, especially at the end of his phrases; an almost Prez-like rhythmic conception; totally at home with bop harmonies). Absolutely - which is why he slotted in so well on the Buck Clayton Jam Sessions and sessions such as 'Jazz Studio 1'. In terms of stylistic flexibility, he reminds me very much of his contemporary, Frank Foster. Quote

B. Goren. Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Disk 1 one more time. Excellent music. Disk # 1 Quote
alankin Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) Argo, Emarcy and Verve Small Group Buddy Rich Sessions - disc 2. So far, I'm enjoying this one more than I expected to. There's a lot of good Sweets Edison on the first two discs. Edited August 12, 2011 by alankin Quote
