miles65 Posted Sunday at 03:32 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 03:32 PM I just got a mail from Mosaic announcing Classic Vanguard Small Group Swing Sessions. Featuring sessions by Vic Dickenson, Ruby Braff, Sir Charles Thompson, Joe Newman, Buck Clayton, Jo Jones, Jimmy Rushing and A night at Count Basie's. 7 CD's. A second set featuring piano sessions will follow. From the website: Michael Cuscuna was very much involved in the direction of this set and it is one of the last that he produced. -Scott Wenzel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranemonk Posted Sunday at 03:41 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 03:41 PM I just listened to the sound clips and read the discography. Based on the personnel I am a little tepid but I'll probably get it. Sound clips are excellent though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted Sunday at 03:57 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 03:57 PM I pre-ordered without hesitation--I have much of this material, it is all well-recorded and excellent performances. Looking forward to the piano-centric Vanguard set in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted Monday at 01:47 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 01:47 AM I love it that these sessions were recorded with a single microphone. Perfect for this kind of music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
