      So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

      By jazzbo · Posted

      Well that was a brief bit of warmth, cold snap is here and the temperature will lower over the next few days. Sigh. Starting off the morning with a different input tube in the SEWE300B and things are sounding very good. I listened again to the 10" Tal Farlow of the McGhee/Farlow disc I had finished up listening to yesterday, and now am listening to the third disc of “Classic V-Disc Big Band Jazz Sessions” Mosaic Records 10 disc set.

      Stan Kenton -

      By Big Beat Steve · Posted

      Finian's Rainbow was a painful memory for Kenton in later years and was panned rather mercilessly by Michael Sparke in the "This Is an Orchestra" biography for its uninspired scoring and lackluster playing by what could have been "any anonymous studio orchestra". So YMMV, it seems, isn't it?

      Paul Whiteman

      By EKE BBB · Posted

      Well, nobody can deny Whiteman's was one of most (if not the most) popular orchestras during the 20s. He hired some of the most relevant musicians and vocalists of that time (among them Bix, Trumbauer, the Dorseys, Red Nichols, Bing Crosby, Bill Rank, Joe Venuti, Eddie Lang...), as well as probably the two most outstanding arrangers, Bill Challis and Ferde Grofé).  As mentioned before, in small doses, and picking up here and there, I would say the around 10 CDs I own are "not essential" in my shelves -except for a few sides with Bix-, but "nice to have". Then, you have "Rhapsody In Blue"... the initial acoustic recording recording is a delight. The "King of Jazz" was a star back then...

      There was a period when his music seemed to be coming in for reappraisal.
