Does anyone listen to these small group masterpieces of 52nd Street style Jazz? They are all uniformly good with some of them standing way out in front.

Some were on Vocalion and then he went over to Bluebird.

I don't think I have seen him mention on here.....except for "Stop the War".

Perhaps cause the rest of us are listening to Wingy Manone

I've been getting into his earlier stuff such as Isle of Capri (1935) recently.

I was however a bit disappointed by the later tracks that were included in the Chu Berry Mosaic box. Weak playing on most numbers, no real punch. Listen to Royal Garden Blues for instance. It sounds like the band is half asleep.

Manone (pronounced "ma-KNOWN") was born Joseph Matthews Mannone in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The Bluebird 78s are labeled as being by "Wingy Mannone", IIRC.

And more!
So nice to see these again. They all had great sound quality unmatched at the time and maybe still.

Wow - 2 towns over from me. I will check it out. Anyone want 9 dollar Victor Vintage LPs?

i like wingy a lot. i have the mosaic louis prima/wingy manone brunswick & vocalion set--it's wonderful. i especially like the harlem hot shots recordings from 1935.

things i believe i've played at dances:

every little moment
sweet and slow
lulu's back in town
jumpy nerves
a little door, a little lock, a little key

I was all "oh no, I don't need another mosaic set" and "lalala" and now I am all "o noes!1!!"

That set is awesome and I highly recommend it. I bought it at a record show from the dude that wrote the liner notes.

I can help you with that one: It's sold out.

I can help too - there's one left on Amazon... (a little expensive though)
