'tis true. i prefer the later all-stars and the really early stuff to the big band. i tend to prefer small group things right now.Eyeball wrote: Interesting! You haven't listed a single side from the 1930s when he was working with a big band.
Gotta be some danceable sides from that decade.
o.k., so i've added four of those to my "maybe play this next time" list. :o) didn't like the "i got rhythm" very much, but enjoyed the others.fredo wrote: All of Me

It doesn't make me want to swing out really hard, but it's dance music for sure :)
i'll give the later ('35->) sides that john mentioned a serious listen, too. thanks, guys!
Quality is extremely variable - none are perfect, but some are quite decent, some are appalling (the notes claim that this was down to 'bad transmission and worn acetates', but that they've been included for completeness' sake)J-h:n wrote:I'm not familiar with that series (or, I think, that label) - is it good?

The notes are pretty ... economical. Basically quite spartan, but what there is well-thought out and useful. No words wasted. Some nice sides - I found it worth the purchase.
