Gitte Meets The Clarke/Boland Big Band

Just noticed from Amazon that this one is about to be reissued in CD over here in Europe:

Gitte Haenning With The Clarke/Boland Big Band

Recorded with Danish singer Gitte Haenning back in 1968 I believe. One of the few CBBB recordings I haven't yet heard, looking forward to checking this out.

:excited:

I've had this for about a month now thanks to dustygroove.com

Interesting date. The new cd sounds mucn better than the lp version I had and that helps for appreciation. The band plays really well and the vocals that Gitte adds (from what I can understand from the notes the band and the singer never recorded together) are very spirited and fun. You'll enjoy it!

The new reissue has a different cover than the lp and doesn't reproduce all the lp artwork but does have photos (some different).

A review!

HAENNING, GITTE – ... meets the francy bloand kenny clarke big band CD

bureau b / edel contraire

Schöne Idee, dieses neue Label namens ‚bureau b’, in gewisser Weise ein Ableger von den liebgewonnenen Tapete Records, welches zielsicher neue alte Sachen ans Tageslicht bringt und dabei sicher nicht im Revier von Tapete wildert und vielleicht trotzdem teilweise die selbe Zielgruppe anziehen könnte. Denn bei bureau b stehen nicht die üblichen Indie-Kleinode im Mittelpunkt, sondern Raritäten, alte Schätze und viel viel mehr. Den Anfang aus dieser großen Serie machen GITTE HAENNING und die Doppel-CD mit Film- und TV-Melodien von MARTIN BÖTTCHER, wenn das mal nicht verdammt unbewusst cool ist. Bei der vorliegenden Veröffentlichung handelt es sich also nun um GITTE HAENNING, die eigentlich für ihre Schlager wie „Ich will ’nen Cowboy als Mann“ bekannt ist, hier aber in diesem Rahmen mit völlig anderen Qualitäten überrascht. Wie der Titel schon verrät geht es hier um Big Band Musik und Jazz-Kontext. Was als Schreiberling also machen, wenn von dieser Materie keine Ahnung hat? Sich in die komplette Historie und Szene einarbeiten? Viel zu komplex. Lieber ganz einfach mit viel Enthusiasmus an die Sache herangehen. „Gitte Haenning meets…” ist ein kurzweiliges Vergnügen, welches als Soundtrack für einen Abend mit Karten und starken Drinks dienen könnte oder zum Entspannen nach einem langen Arbeitstag. Wenn krachige Gitarren zu anstrengend sind, kann das hier eine nette Bewusstseinserweiterung sein. Das Werk ist eine Wiederveröffentlichung von 1969, Gitte Haenning trägt die Songs mit viel Können und fantastischer Stimme vor; mal wird gesungen, mal gehaucht und wann anders gesäuselt. Das ist manchmal anstrengend und meistens aber einfach schöne Begleitmusik. Hinter den Songs verbergen sich meistens Big Band Klassiker, aber auch Eigenkompositionen der beteiligten Francy Boland und Jimmy Woode. „A world without love“ ist sogar von keinen geringeren als John Lennon und Paul McCartney. Die CD erscheint als sehenswertes Digipak mit 20-seitigem Booklet mit jeder Menge Linernotes und anderen Zugaben. Das Herz manches Sammlers sollte jetzt aufgehen! Was uns demnächst noch für Absurditäten und Raritäten erwarten kann man in Ruhe auf der folgenden Homepage nachlesen.

It's a positive review - Gitte Haenning did a jazz tour recently after many years of singing pop music exclusively, all concerts were sold out. This probably inspired the reissue. It's a very nice album, but I have to admit that Carmen McRae sings some of these tunes way better in her very rare LP with the CBBB.

Anyone wanting high resolution scans of front and back cover of the original LP can send me a PM with an e-mail adress to send it to.

Mike, yes I agree that the album with McRae is better. . . .Still, each album has their charm.

The album with McRae ("November Girl") has been released on cd with an additional tune and it's a superb reissue!

Would you mind posting label and number - or even a link?

And yes, they both have their charm ...

Those Rearward reissues are fantastic ! That's just about my favourite reissue label. The LP sets in particular are outstanding - great packaging, great sound. I wish just wish they would reissue a few more rare Campi CBBB sides but so far, very happy with Rearward.

I have the Black Lion 'November Girl' LP. A bit crackly in terms of sound but I'll stick it on the VPI to see if that improves it. If not, I'll stick in an order for the Rearward.

The Karl Drevo is also worth checking out too, along with all those cool Italian jazz issues.
