From Spirituals to Swing

CD-Charts > Music > Jump Blues
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 28, 2000
From Spirituals to Swing

I was surprised by the shape and size of the package when these 3 CDs arrived. They come in an attractive box together with a copy of the programme for the first concert (including the contemporary adverts) and copious, fascinating, notes about the music, performers and history of releases on disc. The recordings from the two concerts are interspersed with studio recordings of small groups primarily drawn from the Basie band.

I am happy to listen to remastered recordings from the 1920s and the rather rough sounds of early blues such as those as recorded by John Lomax. You rapidly get used to these and you make allowances. But by the standards of the late 1930s the sound quality on these ... Read More:

L-O-V-E - the Complete Capitol Recordings 1960 - 1964 [11cd]

CD-Charts > Music > Jump Blues
by: Nat King Cole

Release Date November 13, 2006
Having bought all of the official Capitol / EMI Nat King Cole releases on CD for the best part of 15 years I am pleased to be able to recommend both this Bear Family Box along with its companion Set STARDUST - to any hard core NCC fan, as it represents the most practical way of collecting all of Nat's Capitol catalogue from (in this case) 1960 - 1964. It also pretty much stacks up in a financial sense too, as along with 11 CD's you get a lavishly annotated hard backed book that is ONLY available with this Set.
My only reservation (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5)is the sound quality....which, overall, is very 'dry' and 'neutral' which seems to be a Bear Family trait when they master their sets (the STARDUST set is the same)- as ... Read More:
