Big Bill Broonzy / Sonny Terry

[EKE BBB]

According to Jazzmatazz, they´ll be out on January 2004:

-Big Bill Broonzy - All the Classic Sides 1927-37 - 4 CDs (JSP 7718)

-Sonny Terry - 1938-48 - 5 CDs (JSP 7721)

Any comments? The Broonzy sounds goooooooooooood!!!

As I undersand, the Broonzy was released in Europe in September. No? You should already be able to get it in Spain.

Also recently released from JSP is a 5-CD box of all of Memphis Minnie's early recordings. They are going to follow it up with a another box of her later stuff. The early recordings are superior, especially the collaborations with Kansas City Joe McCoy that take up the majority of this set. Tasty!

Re: Big Bill Broonzy:

You´re right, John! I´ve seen at some on-line stores that its release date was September 22.

Here is an interesting post about reissue labels by "Montgomery Cleft" on a blues bulletin board - I know, I've also posted this link in another thread a while ago, but it might interest readers of this thread too. Edited November 25, 2003 by J.A.W.
