I like it a lot, I have a lot of Monk, including lots of unissued stuff from collectors. . . . . I'm glad to have it--the sound is excellent, good performances. Quote
jazzbo Posted August 16 Posted August 16 (edited) Another beautiful morning. Went to see an open air concert by a local classic rock cover band in a park last night. I was not impressed. They played everything so SLOW, way too slow. They were of a certain age, but that didn’t seem to be the deciding reason–they just felt comfortable being that slow. I wanted to leave but Lucinda was really enjoying the scene so we stayed to the end. I’m re-visiting this disc from yesterday, it’s so darned good!

jazzbo Posted August 16 Posted August 16 I have been looking in my shelves for this disc for some time and finally found it. This is perhaps “corny” stuff for many (my wife can’t stand to hear this type of early jazz/dance music for example) but it captures a certain spirit I find uplifting and calming to hear in these times. My maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother had music like this in their holdings and so it has sentimental value for me as well. Bill Challis had a rich association with Bix Beiderbecke and wrote arrangements for the Goldkette Orchestra when Bix was on board and them oved with Bix to the Whiteman Orchestra. Later he wrote for many other swing bands. Bill Challis And His Orchestra “1936” Circle cd Quote
