Brad Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 This may have discussed at some point but what is the verdict on this label. Are they similar to the Classics label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Which version - lp or cd? The vinyl version was a label created by Jerry Valburn of Ellington Treasury fame. I am not sure the cd version was connected to him, or if they just copped some of his stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) Anyone? I believe it’s a French label. Edited May 25, 2018 by Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 It is French... The label is released by EPM France. Don't think they issued anything lately after they came out with dozens of historial CDs decades ago. None worthy of the Chronological series material or thé current Frémeaux releases.

Brad Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Thanks. Worth buying, in your opinion? I saw a couple of CDs on eBay that looked a little interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lipi Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 I like them. I think the sound is on par with the Chrono Classics. You won't be able to get the complete output of any artist, but then again, how often do you *actually* want to? (And I say this knowing full-well I usually try to get the complete output...) I'm particularly fond of a series of four discs of live Count Basie recordings titled "The Golden Years 1-4" (#73-76). They have some interesting compilations, too, like "Washboard Story" (#25), "Drums Parade" (#96), and "Kansas City Legends" (#5). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Thanks a lot. I was looking at the Legends disc as well as a Buddy Tate one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
