And: Guido Nielsen - The Complete Stark Rags of Josep Lamb With the appearance of this landmark CD, Guido Nielsen finally gives us faithful and exciting performances of Joseph F. Lamb’s Stark Company-published rags, all dating from the middle/peak of the "Ragtime era" to its demise. Lamb wrote some of his best pieces during this period--masterpieces now recognized as the highest class of ragtime--and Nielsen's clean, accurate renditions would surely please Lamb himself. His rhythmic verve harkens back to a time when the music was played with gusto, following a strict beat, as written and in appropriate, steady tempi. Diving into "Sensation," "Excelsior" and "Bohemia" with great dexterity, he counters with sensitive yet unsentimental versions of the lyrical "Ragtime Nightingale" and "Ethiopia." His high-strutting "Champagne" and "Reindeer" are energized two-steps, while "Topliner" is hauntingly graceful as are the first two strains of "American Beauty," which is rendered with an attack ranging from the sensitive to the exuberant, wrapping up as a boisterous, barrelhouse rag. You are sure to discover new favorites here if you are not already familiar with the rags of Joseph Lamb, and you will likely find definitive performances, all keenly played by Guido Nielsen.

As Chris Ware describes this boxset: "Mr. Nielsen plays Scott Joplin`s music in a clea, unaffected, and critically-acclaimed style, allowing all of the brilliance of the original compositions to shine through, without excessive rubato or romaticism. This et is certain to be a delightful addition to anyone`s personal library. Recorded in crystal clear digital stereo, melted into receptive polymer, and carefully indexed in binary code for accurate playback on your home setup." (from Basta Records website) I like to listen to some ragtime, from time to time, and all I have are some cheap compilations I want to avoid. Jazz ancestors...

After a few spins, I must say this is a very interesting and consistent compilation, though many of the tracks do not belong to my kind of stuff! 1.- Guess this is Jaco Pastorius. I´m not very fond of him, nor had I listened to him profusely. The tune is Parker´s "Donna Lee" (or some variation of it). 2.- Beautiful tenor and colourful punctuations from the piano. No clue. 3.- I think it´s RRK (the whistle gives us a good hint). No idea of the album or the song. 4.- I haven´t got the minimum idea of who on hell is singing! The title of the song may be "Little bee..." or something like that. Don´t like it. 5.- This soprano sax could be Wayne Shorter, but I´m not sure at all. I enjoy the first minutes of this smooooth track, but it gets too long (for my taste). 6.- It sounds somehow familiar, but I can´t recognize this vocals. 7.- I´m recently getting with his music. This is the firs track from this disc: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&u...l=A80d8vwpta9qk (vocals did help a lot identifying it! ) 8.- No clue. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ 9.- String plus jazz ensemble. No idea. 10.- South American instrument and music. The only guy I know with this stuff is Gato Barbieri, but I won´t venture it´s him. 11.- I really like the arrangement here. No clue (again!) 12.- ????????? 13.- My guess: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&u...l=A68jieai14x07 14.- No idea 15.- No clue again, to end this BFT. I´ve got worn out while advancing through the tracks.... Thanks again for this interesting BFT, rockefeller center

And do you imagine this board with a guy called Agustín Sangrey or Ebenezer Sangrey writing loooooooong posts??? Life woudn´t be the same!

Lots of releases today, April 27, according to jazzmatazz: Surely you´ll find any of this at your store....

After some Google research, I found a site BLUE JUICE mentioning he died on June 22, 1993

I'm relatively sure that McShann did not record in the 20s. In fact, I don't even think that he recorded in the 30s. According to Tom Lord´s discography, his first session took place in 1940.

I think you´re right LAL. According to the available on-line information from Tom Lord´s discography, Artie Shaw took part in 302 sessions, starting in 1928 and ending in 1968.

Received my disc yesterday evening. I will listen to it this morning while working! Thanks, rockefeller center!

Are you trying to interfere posting while I'm talking to myself? Should I say "bye" to king ubu before I go back to work? ... though he interferes while I talk to myself... and to the voices I hear inside my brain since I got mad due to this thread.... Anyway, BYE ubu!

Don´t you think that´s what my boss would want?
