Face of the Bass Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Listening to the first four discs of the Modern Jazz Quartet box. Love discs one through three...such thoughtful, patient music, and the collaborations with Giuffre and Rollins are beautiful, arresting. Disc four, on the other hand, presents the kind of music that made me skeptical about grabbing this set. I find that I can't stand Third Stream Music, maybe because I'm not that interested in the arrangements, and the whole thing feels encumbered by the added instrumentation. Not a fan.

Sundog Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Charles Tolliver Big Band, Disc 1 Absolutely top notch writing, arranging, playing etc. Nice notes as well. Mainly consisting of an enlightening interview with CT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfcrazy1984 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Just put in the Jimmie Lunceford disk 1. AMAZING sound and musicianship! I was wary because Andreas Meyer was the remastering guy (didn't care for the Armstrong or the Artie Shaw Mosaic sets sound...perhaps it was the best he could do). At any rate this should be a very fun next few weeks discovering this new music (to me)!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of miles Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Just put in the Jimmie Lunceford disk 1. AMAZING sound and musicianship!

At any rate this should be a very fun next few weeks discovering this new music (to me)!!! Just started listening to it myself last night and yes, great sound and musicianship. All I've had of the Lunceford Deccas are the two 1990s GRP compilations, so hearing this set promises to be a real revelation for me. Nice article by Marc Myers in the Wall Street Journal today: Swing's Forgotten King Charles Tolliver Big Band, Disc 1 Absolutely top notch writing, arranging, playing etc. Nice notes as well. Mainly consisting of an enlightening interview with CT. Got this one just yesterday along with the Lunceford and am going to feature them both on our weekday afternoon jazz show next month.

golfcrazy1984 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 The Sarah Vaughan Roulette set. It's beautiful music, and of course, there's Sassy. Incomparable. Sure there's a lot of fluff and corny pop, but man, can she sing!!! Also, very nice sound quality in this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Kart Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 The Lunceford. Fascinating music (some of the early stuff new to me) and great sound so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 The Bennie Green select. I suppose BG was a modernist, but he's always appealed to me as a truly unclassifiable player (judicious use of vibrato, especially at the end of his phrases; an almost Prez-like rhythmic conception; totally at home with bop harmonies).

Absolutely - which is why he slotted in so well on the Buck Clayton Jam Sessions and sessions such as 'Jazz Studio 1'. In terms of stylistic flexibility, he reminds me very much of his contemporary, Frank Foster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
