Pete C Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Is this the material that was released on LP in the '70s from acetates that Mel Torme had recorded or collected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Is this the material that was released on LP in the '70s from acetates that Mel Torme had recorded or collected? It's the same material, released on Fairmont records. At least eight LPs came out, with liner notes by Torme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazztrain Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 The material on Fairmont was just a subset of material later issued by Jerry Valburn on his D.E.T.S. label in what was a subscription only series of 48 LPs plus a subsequent bonus album. Some of the CDs have been adding material from other concerts or broadcasts that were not part of the Treasury Series broadcasts.

Managed to get the complete series and now acquire the CDs (they all have additional material) as they come out. Still amazed at the quality and variety of material included!

jazztrain Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I also managed to obtain the LPs many years ago, all at once. They really are a treasure (no pun intended). I aired them (one show each week) for the better part of a year to a somewhat mixed reaction. Some listeners grew tired of some of the often repeated vocal features. I've resisted the urge to get the cds so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Well jt, I can really recommend the cds. They sound really great and the additional material is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete C Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) Most of the sets are available on Spotify. A few gaps though, like Vol. 4. I had a couple of the LPs. I remember one with Perfume Suite. But were the war bonds promo announcements included on those LPs? I don't remember them.

jazztrain Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yes, the war bonds promos were included. My recollection is that the broadcasts were complete on the DETS issues. That was not the case for the issues on Fairmont. Most of the sets are available on Spotify. A few gaps though, like Vol. 4. I had a couple of the LPs. I remember one with Perfume Suite. But were the war bonds promo announcements included on those LPs? I don't remember them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Some more nice representation of the 1943 band on this one as part of the extra material... much of disc 2 is devoted to Radio City and Hurricane Restaurant broadcasts from May and September of that year respectively.

Yes, and I think the two Treasury Shows are amongst the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of miles Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I just dropped a line to Storyville Records and got an immediate reply--Mona says she is only waiting on the notes now, so it shouldn't be long before V. 17 is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 any of the recent lot ie Vols. 13- 17 standout particularly. I've around half a dozen of these and whilst they are all good I'm not sure how much of this era of the band I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 That's really hard for me to answer. . . as I think these shows (and the accompanying extra material) were uniformly very very good, no one volume really stands out to me as better than another.

jazztrain Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Storyville has been using Allegro for their distribution for the last few years. I just checked their webpage. They don't list it yet (but they do list other volumes in the series). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
