Which Jazz box set are you grooving to right now?

[mjazzg]

Thanks colin and kh. I'm a fan of jazz flute, Newton, Rivers, Kenyatta amongst others and Threadgill definitely so I think I may plug the gap

Ray Charles 'The Complete Swingtime and Atlantic' (Le Chant du Monde), CD3

[Bluesnik]

I got this because I had little Django and it was well priced. I'm not versed in Django discography. Turns out there are his earliest recordings plus a never released rare test acetate with three tracks. But what is a mistery to me is the mastering. I don't know if it has been properly mastered for this reissue or if it has been taken over from another release. the credits state the name of the engineer (Mathieu Bameulle) and the place but not the date. So that leads me to think it was not done purposely for this set. But La Source Mastering is, I think, a present day mastering studio.

Wes Montgomery Complete Riverside. Discs 5 & 6

Earlier

[jazztrain]

Note that there's an error on Disc 1 of this box. Track 4 ("Messin' Around") is not the version by Cookie's Gingersnaps. Rather, it's the version by Jimmie Blythe and His Ragmuffins. Jimmie Noone is not the clarinetist.

Disc 2

Another listen to this

Chuck Willis - Complete 1951-57 - JSP

Terrific stuff by the Sheikh of Shake! Gets better every time I listen.

[Bluesnik]

The complete Chuck WIllis 1951-1957 - Okeh & Atlantic (JSP)

Is the Freddie Jackson who ran Chuck's band the same as Fred Jackson, who later worked with Lloyd Price, John Patton & Baby Face Willette?

and who recorded Hootin and Tootin, which I have, I thought as I saw this. But then I thought: but is he? Is it the same man? And on reading the Wikipedia link I see he is.

CD # 1.

Yes, there are one or two tracks on this where his sound is unmistakeable.

Charlie Parker, The Complete Live Performances on Savoy. Disc 4

[king ubu]

disc one - very nice!

too bad though the book won't fit into the oversize (but too small for the book - looks like a production gaffe to me) box

and too bad that hardly anything in the book is in english!

Dolphy!

add Wess and Lateef as two of the finest of the earlier days - Wess' tone and control is hard to beat, I think!
