miles65 Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 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 November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 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 November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 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 November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 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...
