Sidney Bechet Select

Ah, a very important comment from my point of view. What kind of percentage of alternative takes is there in the set?

Bechet (like Parker) is someone I would not want to steer clear of as alternates go. . . .

Here is the tracklisting etc. Allan:

Thanks TM and Lon.

I thought this was Blue Note material, of which I already have 2 LPs' worth but, looking at the discography, I see it's all OkeH, Columbia, Variety & Vocalion and I haven't got any of it. That alters the equation a bit for me.

But 37.7% ....

Have to think about this.

Phil Woods Quartet/Quintet 20th Anniversary Set

[BruceH]

Part of my attraction is I really dig her voice in this set... Just kinda subtle, raw sexy.....

I really WANT to like the O'Day that much, but just doesn't get there for me.

I'm enjoying the new Goodman Mosaic of the Columbia material. The sound is excellent on this set! Lots of nice Cootie Williams.

I'm probably going to cave and get the Goodman despite the alternate tracks...

The Goodwin is good.

I guess that's part of my problem, I don't find O'Day's voice to be sexy.

I don't listen to her mainly for sexiness but because of the high quality of the singing, at least in a jazz context. I think she had a terrific rhythmic sense, and a wonderful grasp of nuance, dynamics, timing, timbre...all that good stuff. Sex appeal is just icing on the cake, although I get that at times, too.
