Glad to hear you picked that up, the quality is great because the late Mr. Davies worked on it, good luck with your show...

Get the Transcriptions CD on Hep...it's a great disc...

Alex

Just get the 5 CD set on Nostalgia Arts, it has everything they did...they were true originals and literally invented the vocal jazz group...Ella Fitzgerald is quoted as saying that Connie was her only real influence...I've play a bunch of their stuff for dances and had everyone on the floor dancing...

I don't need anything, but I am looking for the last lot of recordings they made from 1936-1937. Things like St. Louis Wiggle Rhythm, Barrelhouse, Big John's Special, Algiers Stomp, Callin' Your Bluff, Jammin for the Jack-Pot etc hey mate, those first 5 songs ARE still in print on the Retrieval dis...

You can also get it through Amazon UK (what I did),

Yea and it's sick.

I agree with Mr. Kosygin, take the Hep highway! CafeSavoy: if you already have "Blue Rhythm" [Hep #1008], buy "Rhythm Spasm" [Hep #1015] and "1934-1936" [2CD] [Retrieval #79045], and you'll have a comprehensive if not absolutely complete, no overlap, MBRB collection fr...

If you are talking about Hep, Blue Rhythm thru Rhythm Spasm goes from 1931-1933...Personally I think the Hep releases are the way to go...

I didn't realize the '36-'37 was hard to get since the one i'm looking for is the next in the series. that may be hard to get since there were no more BRB recordings after 37... Alex No wonder I can't find it. Looking at the track list, i think it must be the '36-'37 I was looking for. I don't have...

"It is originally off the Reprise Studio Recordings of 1962 and it is also available on another Ellington CD called “Recollections of the Big Band Era”. Was it released in 1962 or recorded in 1962? How is the "Recollections of the Big Band Era" CD itself, are there any other good trac...

Yea so the Frankie Manning's Really Swingin' Big Band Favorites CD which I'm sure everyone on here has has a live version of Duke's Let's Get Together, it however does not have dates on the CD anywhere...I think the track is great and I'm sure that version was on CD's in the past...Anyone know what ...

Anyway, to keep things on topic - what i would like to see is a lable like HEP release a bunch of properly remastered Charlie Barnet stuff from the late 30s/early 40s. But yes R.T Davies = Good. I forgot I had that...yup Hep has a live Barnet transcriptions CD...It's a great CD... Instead of wishin...

As I stated before he wasn't only involved with Jazz Oracle...Here are the labels he did work for (below)...so I think you have your work cut out for you but good luck! Collectors Classics - Denmark Cygnet - England Forte & Jazz Oracle - Canada Frog - England HEP - Scotland Jazz Crusade - USA JS...
