I was reading the liner notes of Al Cooper's Chrono CD and at the end it said that other tracks were going to be released as part of a Compilation the Chronological is going to put out.
Anybody own these? Are they any good?

I wouldn't put any salt in what liner notes for CLASSICS say...at least for upcoming releases...I have lots of CD's by them where they say "To Be Continued" and the next release never surfaced...Hell I think they say "To Be Continued" even when there is no further existing material for that artist...About compilations I'm pretty sure that all of the Sultans sessions are on that CD...I can double check for ya Rutgers Institute of Jazz Studies, they would prolly know...I'd like to know myself...the Sultans were one of the best Newark N.J. swing bands around, I have info on their arch rivals the Dictators here:

Yes, I saw that too, and had a look around for they album they were talking about but did not find it.falty411 wrote:I was reading the liner notes of Al Cooper's Chrono CD and at the end it said that other tracks were going to be released as part of a Compilation the Chronological is going to put out.
One thing I've notticed about the Chronological label, is that the sound quality is really bad on some of the tracks in comparision to other CD lables, which is a pitty as I find the Chronological label a great way of buying material from one artist of set periods.

It's Chronological, french people can't spellShorty Dave wrote:Ha ha...slight digression here, but one thing I never got: people online and in person *always* refer to them as "Chronological". Isn't it "Chronogical"? Or is that simply the French/Spanish/something word for "Chronological" and that's why people call it that...
(I'm tired)
Perhaps the other word you're looking for is Chronical?
Yep, 3 discs it is. Absolutely worth getting, I'm only half way through one disc, but there are 3 songs recorded in Tokyo in 1934; all Japanese sidemen backing Midge Williams - never heard of her, but she's got a nice voice and she sings St. Louis Blues and Dinah in Japanese - gotta love it!falty411 wrote:Thanks Rayned!!!
wow it looks like it could be really great.
I dont quite understand how its a 2-Disc set with over 70 tracks. It must be a three disc.
The Fletcher Henderson stuff is killer too. And it's got Don Redman, Al Cooper and a bunch of folks I've never heard of. Definitely the most esoteric CDs I own now.
