Chicago Rhythm, Apex Blues - The
Recordings
Of Jimmie Noone |
● CD $28.98 |
4 CDs, 5hrs 10 mins, recommended
Jimmie Noone was born in
the Birthplace of Jazz (New Orleans) just as jass was becoming jazz, and the
well regarded (and liked) clarinetist played with many of the major
cats--Freddie Keppard, Louis Armstrong, Earl Hines and Mildred
Bailey--during the early development and growth of the nascent American art
form, mostly in a sideman role. He became a well-known leader at the Apex
Club in Chicago in 1926 and from that point on kept a small group
"traditional" sound going, through the popular advent of Swing and shifting,
expanding jazz styles. These recordings span the time frame from when Noone
was a well established, though never terribly commercially "successful"
player, to the end of his career/life. Full of great versions of popular
tunes and foot-patting originals, this set covers the important development
of the New Orleans - Chicago sound and style. You could spend a lifetime
trying to compile these often obscure recordings (as I'm sure the producer's
have) and to have these recordings by an influential, though nearly
forgotten clarinetist is seemingly not such a big deal, but is actually a
treasure trove of the Great American Art Form. The sound quality varies (as
it should), but is more than sufficient overall to please. (RB)

The Classic Early Recordings In
Chronological Order |
● CD $28.98 |
5 CD box set, 124 tracks, essential
Django & The Quintett Of
The Hot Club of France cut a myriad of pre-war sides that have been
haphazardly re-issued for decades. This 5 CD set (originally issued as five
separate CDs) is not exactly chronological, but each takes on a different
facet of Django's early career with the Hot Club (usual line up with Django
on lead guitar), Stephane Grappelly (later spelled Grappelli) on violin,
Joseph Reinhardt & Pierre Ferret or Roger Chaput on guitars & Louis Vola on
string bass). The CD starts with their original recordings under the name "Delauney's
Jazz" from '34, then the Hot Club recordings of '35, including the Hot Club
members backing Big Boy Goude & Alix Combelle. Vol 2 skips over to '38-39 to
cover all the London Decca sides including the Reinhardt/Grappelly duets,
some with Stephane on piano, as well as Django's solo sides. Vol 3 has the
'38-39 Paris Decca sides. Vol 4 actually follows vol 1 & goes back to '35,
starting with Grappelly (on piano) & Reinhardt with Coleman Hawkins, in his
band &, on Stardust, an incredible trio!, then back to the est of the
'35 & '36 sides, including some with vocalist Freddy Taylor. The final
volume has the '37 Quintet sides (going up to the material on vol 2), ending
with the '34 sides with Django playing with Garnet Clark & His Hot Club 4,
featuring Bill Coleman on trumpet & vocals. Each CD has 24-26 sides, & all
but Vol 4 have rare alternate takes. All tracks have been remastered from
best available 78s and pitch corrected where necesarry by mastering engineer
Ted Kendall - a protege of John R.T. Davies (GM)

Breaking Out Of New Orleans, 1922-1929 |
● CD $28.98 |
4 discs, 101 tracks, essential
Another wonderful JSP budget
box set. This is not the well-known New Orleans jazz - there's no Louis
Armstrong solo sides (though he's part of the Red Onion Jazz Babies), & the
only other well-known name here is Kid Ory's Sunshine Orch. Here are
multiple (& in many cases complete) recordings of hard-core N.O.jazz.
Includes Original Tuxedo Jazz Band/Celestine's Original Tuxedo Orch, Louis
Dumaine's Jazzola 8, Jones & Collins Astoria 8, Sam Morgan's Jazz Band,
Piron's New Orleans Orch, the legendary Red Onion Jazz Babies w/Armstrong,
Sidney Bechet, Buster Bailey & Lil Armstrong. Legendary trumpeter Freddie
Keppard is heard with Erskine Tate's Vendome Orch. & the Doc Cook led bands
Cook's Dreamland Orch/Cookie's Gingersnaps as well as his own Jazz
Cardinals. Ory, besides his famous Sunshine Band sides is heard with The New
Orleans Wanderers, The New Orleans Bootblacks & The Chicago Footwarmers.
Those bands also featured famed clarinetist Johnny Dodds, who is also heard
with his own Black Bottom Stompers. As this is a budget set, there are
limited liner notes & no discographical info, but there is full personnel &
recording dates & LOTS of great music! (GM)

Away From Base - Basie Sidemen With Other
Leaders |
● CD $28.98 |
4 discs, 100 tracks, essential
They could have called this a
Billie Holiday box, as it seems that the singer of choice here is Lady Day,
hard on over half the tunes here & singing at her peak. These vacationing
Basie-ites (which also includes many Ellingtonians & Goodmaniacs) are often
heard on small group recordings initially done to fill jukeboxes, with the
nominal leader being Billie or Teddy Wilson. There are other singers
featured here, including Mildred Bailey, Helen Humes, Joe Turner & Una Mae
Carlisle, guesting with Lionel Hampton, Harry James, & Benny Goodman, as
well as bands put together for labels such as Commodore including the Kansas
City 5 & 6, & Joe Sullivan's Caf‚ Society Orch. Recorded between '36 & '41,
all these cats are DEFINITELY in their prime! Some of the Wilson sides have
Teddy with the other _ of the All-American Rhythm Section (Freddie Green,
Walter Page, Jo Jones). Besides Teddy & Bille, the most-often heard voice is
Lester Yong, but there are plenty of others including Herschal Evans, Buck
Clayton, Don Byas, Eddie Durham, Sweets Edison, along with other greats as
Benny Carter, Cozy Cole, John Kirby, Edmund Hall, Buster Bailey & Johnny
Hodges. Small group jazz at its peak! (GM)

Jazz Classi |
● CD $28.98 |
A tribute to legendary remastering engineer John R.T. Davies
who died in 2004. When it came to jazz there were few who could equal John's
skills at extracting the most music and reducing the noise from rare 78s
from the 20s and 30s, giving them a new life and presence without degrading
the music in any way. John was a jazz musician himself and what he
accomplished with his remastering was not just a job but a labor of love.
This is the first of several volumes to feature his work for JSP records and
includes performances by Louis Prima, Ted Lewis, Joe venuti and The George
Wettling Jazz Band.

● CD $28.98 |
4 CD box set, 110 Tracks, 5 Hours 15 Minutes, highly
recommended
With certainly not as much well-known material as on the great
and recommended Volume 2, this volume (which, due to the strenuous brilliant
research and compiling it entailed was issued AFTER Vol.2) presents the
earliest recordings from the ever-wonderful Fats Waller, tracing the roots
of his early influences to offer the cornerstone of his future style. From
vaudevillian singer Sara Martin to blues maven Alberta Hunter, to gospel
performer J.C. Burnett and on to the Big Band swing of the Fletcher
Henderson Band and beyond, Waller shows incredible chops and the keen ear of
a first call accompanist. In the many solo pipe organ recordings, Waller
dazzles with his deft touch and incessant swing. Grounded in the stride
piano style, armed with a vast knowledge of current popular song styles and
forms (and a love of Bach, too!), Waller combined his innate desire to
entertain with his rich wit to go on to become one of the most unique and
important voices in the history of jazz. Listen here and you'll hear how
that voice developed. Not only will you learn much, you'll have a delightful
time of it! Decent notes and the sound quality is as good as one could hope
for. (RB)

The Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 2: Handful
Of Keys |
● CD $28.98 |
4 CD box set, 101 tracks, 5 Hours 15 mins, highly
recommended
Subtitled "Pianist, Songwriter, Entertainer, Innovator," this
set covers recordings from 1929-1934, wherein Thomas "Fats" Waller proves he
was a master of these descriptors. Easily taken for granted with his bubbly
and entertaining personality and accessible style, it's easy to forget what
a true artist Waller was and what a great and long lasting contribution he
made to jazz. This set puts it all into perspective, from deft/bristling
keyboard runs to energetic, often-satiric vocals. Waller, a brilliant stride
pianist, dabbles with New Orleans Hot, Boogie and "Chicago" styles of jazz,
turning it into a style uniquely his own. Hard to imagine there was a Great
Depression on when these tracks were recorded (leading to Waller only
releasing two sides in 1930); the songs are upbeat, light-hearted, and
joyous - very representative of a man that lived life to its fullest.
Beautifully compiled and with very nice sound, the only thing this fantastic
set is lacking are notes that are worthy of the music and the effort that
went into putting this together. Five hours plus of music and you still want
more... (RB)
