brownie Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 What's on the Anthology is pretty predictable and leaves not much ground for discussion, except for some of the selections on disc 6! Commies have done worst things than this -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 what, only a few Cds? actually, IIRC, I consulted on that project a LONG time ago (well, maybe 5 years ago; could be longer) - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 what, only a few Cds? actually, IIRC, I consulted on that project a LONG time ago (well, maybe 5 years ago; could be longer) - Hell, your "That Devilin' Tune" sets are far, far better than this. What disappoints me is that there already IS a decent Smithsonian Jazz Anthology. I wish that, instead of going back to square one and trying to fit 100+ years of jazz history onto six CDs, they had done a volume 2 that started where the first one left off. That would give them six CDs to explore what has happened in jazz SINCE the first set came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volume 2 of the original "Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz" would've been nice, but as someone who has tried to use the SCCJ for teaching an Introduction to Jazz class, I like the looks of the new Anthology better. Much better coverage of the '40s and '50's Bop/Hard Bop/Cool stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 I haven't checked but is there any overlap between this and the old Anthology? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 there are some very strange choices on those volumes. It's a good thing I've since stopped using amyl nitrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
