Any recommendation for the Benny Carter?

Whom do you think did the best linner notes?
EKE BBB replied to Hardbopjazz's topic in Miscellaneous Music
Don´t know much about the gush or Bush thing but I did enjoy his liner notes for the Art Tatum Complete Group Masterpieces! Dan Morgenstern is another favorite of mine. I find his comments on some Storyville releases very helpful! -
I´ve listened to BFT#7 a couple of times. Thanks for bringing us these two discs, Vint. There´s a sense of Soundtrack on some tracks and a latin groove on many others. I felt I could guess a couple of tracks in my first spin, but this was refuted in my second one. Notwithstanding, I´m afraid I haven´t had much time to do a proper listening, nor have I been in the mood to report track by track until now. And now I´ve read a few of the last posts in this thread. Don´t worry, Vint, many more posts and guesses to come!

John: We all know you´re an expert in this kind of things....

I hadn´t heard the material included in "Festival session" before. It´s a cookin´ date for sure. Paul Gonsalves tenor sax really smokes on "Copout extension". For lovers of drums, "Duael Fuel" is a must-have, with a terrific battle between Jimmy Johnson and Sam Woodyard. And for those who think jazz clarinet died when sax got the spotlight, just listen to Russell Procope and Jimmy Hamilton on "Idiom ´59". The sound is incredible. One of the best reissues I´ve heard recently. 5 out of 5 EDIT: I used the thumbs-down icon instead of the thumbs-up

SHEILA JORDAN´S OFFICIAL WEBSITE
-
Sheila Jordan is one of my favorite singers, for sure! A love her instrument-like voice. The way she holds the notes makes you think she´s singing with her dying breath. She takes risks when singing. A very underrated singer, IMHO. I suscribe all the above mentioned recommendations, starting with "Portrait of Sheila", of course, which is placed very high in my top-ten vocal discs list. Would also point out "Jazz child" and "The crossing". I feel I don´t own enough recordings of her...

I received "Masterpieces" and "Festival session" on Friday, but haven´t got time to listen to them properly during the weekend. Now I´m going through "Masterpieces" and it´s incredible! The coming of the LP era allowed Duke to recreate a bunch of his landmarks with extended arrangements. Beautiful! The sound is simply superb to these (non-audiophile) ears. And I really like Columbia/Legacy packaging for their reissues.

I can´t add anything more...

EKE BBB replied to rockefeller center's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
I don´t know which one is the filthiest, but I DO KNOW which one is the most beautiful, exciting and sensual (besides X). It´s a letter you guys don´t have in your poor keyboards: the ultraSpanish Ñ B) -
this means I gotta send another order to worldsrecords.com....

Duke: The Complete Works 1924-1947
EKE BBB replied to nmorin's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
Thanks for the hints, guys. With my recent acquisitions, I´m in doubt about picking this box-set. There´s too much duplication in my Ellington collection. I shoud sit down calmly, peruse a good discography and compare it to my collection. It will take some time, I´m afraid... -
Duke: The Complete Works 1924-1947
EKE BBB replied to nmorin's topic in Mosaic and other box sets...
It was the same for me, Tom, but with cduniverse.com. This item was backordered for a couple of months, and finally I got tired and didn´t postpone the order anymore. -
Thanks for your "Guide to Free Jazz on Lester Young", Milan. Your comments on Pres´ solos are highly appreciated by us "closed-ears" listeners!
-
Please, report on this one when you listen to it. How´s the sound? The only transcriptions I have from the Standard label (the Tatum released on Storyville), sound pretty good!
-
Can´t wait to receive my "Masterpieces" and "Festival session" copies. They were shipped on February 16, from cduniverse!

I haven´t picked this one yet! I´ve seen it´s available at worldsrecords.com for $20 (2 CD). Any other source? Thanks for the tip, LAL!
