Nope. I'll give it a relisten.

As I recall - first it was big time with DJs and dancers, then it was being given not so high marks, then people accepted it for what it was....etc.

Great, now I want a set of JBL Hartsfields... Thanks, John. Haha! I know. That set which is playing a Chris Conner 45 rpm on Atlantic is incredible. And they are only recorded with a camcorder. 細井 研志 1 year agin reply to Maciek Jutrzenka Incorrect! All of sound in my videos are original recorded by...

Does this album still get the plays?

Highlighting the speakers. Jealous! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ydqoKh_N_E Wow! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b2XYZ-YQEM Wow. Again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRzB_T7JQ2A Plays a rare Ellington unit recording! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Th-5SS0sVs&noredirect=1 Fun! https://ww...

Dorsey and Crosby were also (mostly) Decca. It seems Universal Music Group haven't been interested in releasing/restoring them (no profit). I did some poking around and it seems that there is hope: Universal Music Group's vintage recordings head to Library of Congress . Not sure what this means for...

A MAN AND HIS DRUM A drummer friend of mine from back in the day always used to talk about this first side. It's pretty good. CHEROKEE is pretty decent, too, once it gets going. Both are from 1939. Recording dates were 10-10-39 and 11-27-39 Like 'em? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiVgpXaBy0U

I gotta agree with Trev on this one - but from another point of view - if you're serious about jazz you should be serious about Louis Armstrong and the proper sets are not for those who are serious about certain artists (unless other boxed sets are hard to come by). Will pop for the JSP set, instea...

Tommy Dorsey Deccas - do you mean the post 40s Deccas? My mistake, I meant RCA/Victor. This CD is decent: http://amzn.com/B000008AS6. That's a good one. The TD Deccas from the 50s feature a top quality band doing some indifferent material. TD dropped a lot of the Swing and went just big flashy band...

No problem. I learned a new 'skill'.

Thx much. Just checked the Louis Hot 5s n 7s. - 27 dollars in the USA. Look at the url - http://www.amazon. co.uk /dp/B00001ZWLP - UK Look at the url - http://www.amazon.co m /dp/B00001ZWLP - USA All I did was drop the uk and add a m to the dot co. This is a great way to check the USA v UK prices if...

Ah yes, I was going to add 40s Tommy Dorsey , but I couldn't remember which ones were in need - I know the Deccas are decent. TD 40s have never had a chronological reissue or a high tech remastering. The Sinatras came out in fair sound. The 30s came out on the Bluebird reissue series in the 70s and...

Got any others? Have I missed a good set of one of the above?

Tommy Dorsey Victors from the 40s. Life long over due.

Good sound? Complete? Anything better out there?

Amazon has it new for 150. clams!

Another guy has it for 30 clams.

I agree completely, but then it's Louis Armstrong recorded live, in great sound. Thx. If one had zero LArm in their collection, this would be a decent place to begin and then work backwards, I suppose. Rather have radio broadcasts of Louis and King Oliver from that beer garden in Chicago! fwiw - Di...

Ordered. Let us know. My own reservation was even though Louis was sill playing well most of the time, the 50s were - I dunno - not groundbreaking and that much of the material he was doing, he had done before. Like Benny Goodman in the latter parts of his career. He began re-creating his recording...
