chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted September 15, 2007 Report Posted September 15, 2007 saw this today but the 2nd 1/2 of the cd is all the stuff i already have on "big band modern" the 1st half contains sessions from 1946-49--- now are these all GW orch sides or are they other leaders as well..... is it worth it to get it just for 1st half of the cd-- the 40s stuff-- does any one have info on the personel and record labels for these cuts? the 45-46 GW chron, thats way out of print, right? so if i wanna hear some early stuff this is my only option i think has any of you bought this yet? can you tell me about the 40s cuts? recommended? etc?

mikeweil Posted September 15, 2007 Report Posted September 15, 2007 I haven't heard the second Classics disc, but have the first, and a cassette of the Sounds of Swing LP, and only part of that is on the first Classics. I think all the material sounds good, although Synthetic Joe is a standout track. Some vocals, but with taste, and all kinds of things from ballads to bop. Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Posted September 15, 2007 yea, thats the one i have on 78!!!!!!!! synthetic joe! i have it on 78! b/w "moon rise" (vocal) Quote

mikeweil Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 yea, thats the one i have on 78!!!!!!!! synthetic joe! i have it on 78! b/w "moon rise" (vocal) Moon Rise is a gorgeous vocal tune, IMO! In shellac days I would have worn that one out! Quote
mikeweil Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 (edited) Just ordered a copy of that second CD - thanks for the hint! I had been waiting for this to appear - Wilson's band was so great! Edited September 17, 2007 by mikeweil Quote
mikeweil Posted September 17, 2007 Report Posted September 17, 2007 BTW - Vol. 1 features a vocalist Dick Gray - any more info about him? He sounds like a cross between Al Hibbler and Earl Coleman! Quote
