Clarke-Boland Big Band

The re-packing and -grouping that Rearward does is a bit confusing ... they did some reissues that have like 80% overlap with other of their own reissues (the Shihab discs!). Escapes me why they do that. Rather stick to one "line" and bring out more music!

But hey, this is a small complaint, since basically it's just great that anyone still bothers about Clarke/Boland!

Just picked up CBBB's "Jazz in Universal" (1966) in Fopp (London) which is part of the Japanese Atlantic Jazz Best Collection 1000 (import) but all selling for £5 ($10) - very, very good value indeed and akin to MPS the sound quality is pretty much most perfect.

Clarke Boland Sextet

Marcel Marceau Praesentiert Swing Im Bahnhof

As I understand, the majority of these tracks were already reissued by Rearward in their Calypso Blues package. Right?

It seems that their current "line" is to release albums or sessions in their entirety. The collections a la "Calypso Blues", while apparently still in print, stem from a previous reissuing program.

Yes, all but the track "Ya-Ya" are on Calypso Blues.

You started late, but you get to listen to so much great music for the first time!

OK. If you say so, but never to late!

Yes, that's what I think - but I still find it a silly thing to change such a strategy after several fine reissues (they also had nice booklets!)

Anyway, glad they're going on! I'll skip the Bahnhof, I guess, but will want the trio (though I've got to double check about that first, too).

Buy with confidence, this Trio session is marvellous and didn`t surface before on Cd level. (Oddly) three great Boland-Woode/Clarke tracks stemming from a different session - being featured on the REARWARD CD Johnny Griffin "Griff`n bags" are not included - depriving the new Cd of the "Complete Bloand Trio recordings" status....but we should settle for what we got ;-))

Enjoy the Cd+Liebe Grüße

Thanks, that's good to know! And it was indeed those trio cuts I did remember from one of the older CDs - so no overlap for once, nice!
