For his part, Duke Ellington did talk about wishing he could have a Louis Armstrong in every seat in his band.

I'll check

Probably unanswerable is a year when this started. You can hear it on earlier recordings like Don Murray's clarinet on Royal Garden Blues with Bix in 27. Anyway, Sidney Bechet was doing this (among who know how many others) before the first recordings were ever cut. (I've stuck steadfastly to your ...

Something I've been curious about for a while. I apologise that I don't have the terminology to describe this in musician's terms, because that would make it a lot easier to convey. The style that Artie Shaw uses in this solo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6LrEkxolpk#t=1m41s where he plays with th...

Helps to live in NYC. And to make contributions to the cause of the music. And to be devoted to it and know just about everything about it. And to be chatty with someone in the circle. Well - that's me stuffed then :( So how much have you heard? On a slightly different note, I asked the Mosaic guys...

Thanks!

There's a few small points where I'd disagree - he puts great store in mp3 quality, bit-rates etc etc, but then states he uses his computer's on-board sound for his main output, and a Turtle Beach card for previewing... which (for any laptop I've ever encountered) will instantly lower the quality of...

(it's the second song, around 4:10 in, after King Porter Stomp)

I really really should know this one, and it shames me that I can't place it.

Six partial clips from the Bill Savory collection- http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/08/17/arts/music/savory-collection.html Oh man, those clips are so tantalising.

Apologies if this has been posted already, but there's a great hour-long interview with Loren Shoenberg here: http://www.prx.org/pieces/64127-listening-to-the-savory-collection-with-loren-scho Loads of great sound samples, great interview. Fingers crossed they can sort out the legal issues and get t...

Live band, iirc - the Hot Sugar Band. Who were amazing.

Thanks in advance!!

Sounds like Focus Pocus - title track from Glenn Crytzer's new album. Although it sounds like it's been slowed down a fair bit, without locking the pitch.

Nice version of Tight like That.

I have no idea who the artist would be.

Mosaic currently have a 10% off sale, which encompasses a lot of the box sets - lasts until June 17th.

Not a massive discount, but it's tipped the balance - I'm just ordering me some Lunceford

In addition to the Hines set, which is on its way to me at the moment... so far I'm pondering Coleman Hawkins, Lunceford, Goodman, and Armstrong. If you don't already have it, might be worth checking out the Chu Berry set too. Got that one - it's amazing. And the Chick & Ella set will be a no-brain...
