The Magnificent Goldberg Posted May 31, 2008 Report Posted May 31, 2008 The packaging is a little odd: two CD single cases & booklet in a box. The single cases seem to be arranged backwards, with the label of the CD being the thing that has the detail. When you pull them out of the box, they appear to be upside down, so you turn them every which way to work out what you're looking at. Oh, the music? I'm listening to disc 1 and am on #10, the first one I didn't already have. And that's fine. There won't be a problem with the music, y'know. I hadn't realised there was another 2 disc set of Keletigui & ses Tambourins. I had better get that soon. MG Quote

mikelz777 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 I went on a bit of a buying spree at Berkshire Records Outlet in anticipation of a CD-buying moratorium. The nine titles below are part of the "Hip Jazz-Bop" series put out by 1201 Music. They put together compilations of American artists in Europe during the '50's and '60's from the vaults of British label, Black Lion. They're populated by a virtual who's who in jazz: Dexter Gordon, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Stitt, Ben Webster, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Kenny Dorham, Zoot Sims, Bob Brookmeyer, Lee Konitz, and Miles Davis among many others. They were only $2.99 a pop so I figured, "Why not?". They'll be nice to throw on when I can't decide on one particular artist to listen to. (Continued on next post.) Quote
mikelz777 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 The titles below were only $3.99 ea. so I couldn't resist picking up some Howard McGhee, Lucky Thompson and Kenny Clarke. Overall, a pretty nice haul averaging only $3.83 per disc after shipping. Quote
paul secor Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 I Like Be I Like Bop - Early American & European Bebop Violin (AB Fable) Some of the artists on this 2 disc compilation would seem to fall into the swing rather than bebop category, but screw categories. This 2 disc set includes a lot of artists that I'm unfamiliar with or am only fleetingly familiar with, so I'm looking forward to listening. Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 A few albums were delivered while my connection's been down. The Soul Stirrers - He's my rock: the early sides - P-Vine 2 CD set of their complete recordings from 1939 - 1948. Mostly their Aladdin material but a dozen earlier sides, too. Really great stuff! Only disappointment is that the sleeve notes are in Japanese. Though they print the words of all 55 songs in English Georgia Mass Choir - Tell it - Savoy The latest album (issued last year) from the GMC - a great session, with the incredible Dorothy Norwood guesting and still belting it out like a good 'un! Buika - Nina de fuego - DRO Atlantic Oh, entrancing! It will take me a long time to absorb everything in this CD. I was prepared for it to be not as good as her earlier albums, but it's a joy!

Only disappointment is that the sleeve notes are in Japanese. Though they print the words of all 55 songs in English MG Only disappointment for me with this one is that they left off "Pearl Harbor Parts 1&2" and "Why I Like Roosevelt Parts 1&2" - probably because they concern secular topics, and possibly because Willie Eason sings lead and plays Hawaiian steel guitar on them. Leaving them off annoyed me because I figured I could get rid of my old Imperial LP from the 70's. Still have it because of those tracks. Quote

But there was certainly not enough time to get those into the two discs - they're 77:46 and 78:08. A three disc set would have cost a hell of a lot more. MG Quote
BillF Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Dizzy Gillespie w. Sonny Rollins & Sonny Stitt: Duets (Verve) Clarence Williams: The Columbia Recordings Volume 2 - Whoop It Up (Frog) Admirable breadth of taste! Quote
paul secor Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Dizzy Gillespie w. Sonny Rollins & Sonny Stitt: Duets (Verve) Clarence Williams: The Columbia Recordings Volume 2 - Whoop It Up (Frog) Admirable breadth of taste! Big difference in musical styles in the two recordings, but if you're looking at time, only 26 years separate the last of the Williams recordings and the Gillespie. Hard to believe that music changed so quickly. Quote
