Teddy Wilson set on last chance


Recommended Posts

Just got an e-mail that the Teddy Wilson set is on last chance.

The Lester Young/Count Basie set made a come back just as the Woody Herman Decca, Mars, MGM set. These come backs are usualy short lived.

If you don't have them it's time to pull the trigger.

I had a copy of the Canadian issue with a Brunswick label on the cover.

IIRC (and I often don't) Brunswick was a subsidiary of Columbia, though maybe it was a subsidiary of Decca.  Also, IIRC, the late John Norris had something to do with convincing them to release it.

Seems to have been done by the same artist (art department?) that did the Bessie Smith series, maybe?

And (I think)  the Charlie Christian twofer Lp.  I don 't have a turntable but I kept that  just because I like the look of it. ( I also like the extended versions of  songs that our  Chris Albertson created by combining the solos from different takes-- though I managed to digitize them so that I'm really just keeping the album for the cover. )

Brunswick/Vocalion was an independent record company until end 1930. Bought by Warner Brothers to press records for their talking movies system that din’t make it. They leased the labels to ARC (Columbia/Okeh now Sony under the provision that a minimum number of records be sold. In 1940 they failed and the labels returned to WB who then sold them to Decca (now Universal) Decca also bought the pre late 1930 recordings. The recordings made by ARC stayed with ARC. The Columbia and Okeh label made a come back at that point.

Love that cover art/design. And I bet the SQ is great too. 

SQ is very good.  The only issue is that Columbia squeezed 8 tracks to a side.  Columbia did that as well as, if not better than, anyone else, but the volume is low as a result.  Just turn it up, no biggie.  This twofer was U.S. Columbia CG 31617.  I got it not too long ago from Dusty Groove for a good price.  If you're shopping, be aware that there is a different Chiaroscuro date with the same title.

I've often wondered whether the Weather Report albums released on ARC/Columbia had anything to do with the earlier ARC:

If so, it's John Berg, who did all of the Miles 80s albums too. Some nice work in this guy's portfolio

The whole series...

Phillip Hays has his name on the arts...John Berg the design.
