BENNY GOODMAN
THE BENNY GOODMAN '38 CARNEGIE HALL CONCERT

The date was January 16th, 1938 when the Goodman Band appeared at Carnegie Hall, the first swing band to ever appear at that formerly classical only venue.

This album presents the complete concert, just as it was recorded that historic night with Gene Krupa, Harry James, Jess Stacy and singer Martha Tilton. The original one-of-a-kind recordings were not heard until 1950 when Benny Goodman's daughter Rachel discovered them in a closet. They were transferred to then new reel-to-reel tape, preserved for all time.

With digital technology, this concert sounds better than ever as presented on two high quality CDs. The ambience of the hall has been preserved along with the audience reaction and the dynamic performance of the musicians in what has become a key moment in musical history.

This set is the result of 18 months and 200 hours of studio work by Bjorn Alstedt to restore the warm sound of the original. It is, indeed, a classic restoration of the original seven decades old masters. It is a worthy addition to your library. The selections of the complete original concert are noted below as listed on the back of the album.

SWINGING ON A V-DISC

V-Discs were 12 inch 78 RPM vinyl recordings made for service men by the armed forces in WWII. The V-Disc program was one way of sending a bit of home to troops overseas, for all the top stars of the time volunteered to perform on these unique recordings, not available to the general public at the time.

Now some of the best of the V-Discs have been digitally restored and included in a four CD set, allowing us these years later to hear versions of tunes never recorded for the commercial market. While some of the bands DO perform selections also issued on commercial recordings, this collection contains only the versions recorded especially for the V-Disc effort. In most instances the performances are especially unique with combinations of musicians and singers not able to be heard together by the public because of contract restrictions. No such restrictions affected V-Discs. The very first track features a group called the New York City All-Stars. They are Roy Eldridge, Illinois Jacquet, Count Basie, Al Caiola, Red Callendar and Buddy Rich performing with unfettered joy. That's an example of the kind of otherwise unavailable one-time performances on this carefully crafted V-Disc four CD set.

The line-up includes:
LIONEL HAMPTON - LOUIS JORDAN - BOB EBERLY - SLIM GAILLARD - CONNEE BOSWELL - RANDY BROOKS - KAY STARR & CHARLIE BARNET - ELLA FITZGERALD & BUDDY RICH - THE DORSEY BROTHERS COMBINED ORCHESTRAS (before they got together again) - ANITA O'DAY & GENE KRUPA - THE LES PAUL TRIO - ORIGINAL DIXIELAND JAZZ BAND - FRANK SINATRA - LT. BOB CROSBY - MARTHA TILTON - CAPT. GLENN MILLER - ARMSTRONG & TEAGARDEN - T. SGT. SY OLIVER'S ALL-STARS - JOHNNY MERCER - DON REDMAN - STAN KENTON - SAN DONOHUE'S NAVY BAND - EDDIE HEYWOOD SEXTET - BUNK JOHNSON'S NEW ORLEANS JAZZ BAND - RUSS MORGAN - T. SGT. JACK LEONARD - HOT LIPS PAGE - JIMMIE LUNCEFORD - WOODY HERMAN - PERRY COMO - DUKE ELLINGTON - BENNY GOODMAN - MUGGSY SPANIER - RED NORVO - LOUIS PRIMA - CPL. BUDDY CLARK - HOAGY CARMICHAEL - KAY KYSER - MILDRED BAILEY - SAMMY KAYE - LENA HORNE & CHARLIE SPIVAK - HAL McINTYRE - HARRY JAMES - ELLIOT LAWRENCE - PEGGY LEE - JO STAFFORD - NAT COLE TRIO - JIMMY DORSEY - TOMMY DORSEY

Because of the rarity of the original recordings there are a few examples of slightly inferior sound quality, but the musical quality and uniqueness in these few instances makes up for the slight imperfection. CD booklet lists details and dates of each session.

This is, without doubt, a musical adventure frozen in time!

RALPH FLANAGAN

Twenty-four (24) hard-to-find delightful Millerish sounds.

(D-3) A single CD with 24 Flanagan tunes.

 

After WWII, there were several orchestras featuring the Glenn Miller sound, but Ralph Flanagan seemed to be the most popular. More people ask about Ralph Flanagan than nearly any other later '40s/early '50s Big Band....and now there's a collection of two dozen thrillingly smooth, enchantingly arranged Flanagan originals. ALWAYS, MY HERO, WHERE OR WHEN, HOT TODDY, PENTHOUSE SERENADE, JOSHUA, SOME ENCHANTED EVENING, SMOKE DREAMS, ST.

THE COUNT BASIE STORY
1936 TO 1950
Those Proper Box people have done it again, issuing a definitive four CD set of the Count Basie musical history from 1936 to 1950, with the original SHOE SHINE BOY through BASIE BOOGIE. In between is ONE O'CLOCK JUMP, JOHN'S IDEA, TOPSY, SENT FOR YOU YESTERDAY, BLUE AND SENTIMENTAL, JUMPIN' AT THE WOODSIDE, TAXI WAR DANCE, LESTER LEAPS IN, MOTEN SWING, I WANT A LITTLE GIRL, plus later gems including RED BANK BOOGIE, THE MAD BOOGIE, TAPS MILLER, ONE O'CLOCK BOOGIE, SWINGIN' THE BLUES, BASIE'S BASEMENT, SUGAR, HEY PRETTY BABY and a later ONE O'CLOCK JUMP version.

As with all the Proper Box collections, the CDs are filled to capacity with finely engineered and carefully selected cuts, 99 in all. Singer Jimmy Rushing is well represented as is the "dream rhythm section" of Walter Page, Freddie Green and Jo Jones. Also represented during the years presented in this album are such greats as Buck Clayton, Lester Young, Herschel Evans, 'Sweets' Edison, Dicky Wells, Clark Terry, Buddy DeFranco, Al Killian and Illinois Jacquet among others. There are selections by the Basie small groups, heretofore difficult to find. DUPREE BLUES and RED WAGON, for example with just piano, bass, drums and guitar, plus the Basie Sextet with YOU CAN DEPEND ON ME. Other small groups include "Basie's Bad Boys" and the "Count Basie All-Stars," but there's plenty of Big Band action too.

Count Basie recorded for a number of labels over the years covered by this collection, and they're all brought together in this album with key numbers from Vocalion, Decca, CBS, Columbia, V-Disc, Okeh and Victor. Count Basie was revered by all who knew him, both professionally and personally. This boxed set is a lavish treat reflecting that reverence and covering the early development of one of the top contributors to what we now know as the Big Band sound.
