Artie Shaw Rhythmakers Transcriptions for NBC Thesaurus
Does anyone know if these transcription studio recordings are complete on CD yet?
They were all done circa 1937 - 1939. Probably 100 plus recordings all in all.

Try some of his big band stuff from circa 1929- 1930 that were recorded for Victor. Oliver still plays well and his other trumpet guy plays well, too. Good band. Those tracks were well recorded at the time and even the old LP reissues had great sound, so the CDs should sound even better provided the...

Yeah...those 2 you mentioned are pretty good and pretty early in the 50s, I think. His 50s stuff is pretty good, though his band takes on a Basie type style...but good, not the wall of sound that some really later Basie sounds like. James in the 60s got really commercial...just hokey concept albums....

There were still lots of big bands playing Swing music in the pre-neo era. Most of the ones I know of were old school bands that were still around, but los of the stuff is very well recorded in either hi-fi mono or stereo. Please name some titles. I'll buy them immediately. Sorry....I missed this p...

Chances range from good to high that they will still have copies.
Grab a swing skirt, too.

Prepare for musical madness and more than you bargained for.
A treasure trove of pre 1930 Jazz.

Re: Propaganda songs! Where do you draw the line?
Would you spin any propaganda styles songs, even some thing as simple as “American Patrol” by Glenn Miller? Where do you draw the line? Without a lyric, most people will be oblivious. Even with a lyric a lot of people are oblivious. There is always someone who will be offended by something. Why wor...

I hope that someday I'll stumble across a decent record made by some obscure pre-neo swing band who played swing music before it got popular again. It's kinda sad when fifty year old mono recordings sound better than stuff recorded a few years ago. There were still lots of big bands playing Swing m...

I think you hit the nail on the head when you say the muscians were clueless. Our jazz community here tends to favor modern, concert style jazz where the trumpet player likes to toot his own horn for 32 or 64 bars of solo with the expectation of a standing ovation afterward. The particular folks I'...
