The Centennial Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Jive Jazz
by: Fats Waller

Release Date April 20, 2004
There are dozens of great, great Fats Waller sides for Bluebird out there somewhere, but it seems they are oh so out of print. This is one disc of fine music, but Fats is so much more than this. What jazz fans want is not yet another single disc smattering compilation of Fats Waller. What we want is access to all those great Bluebird records from the 30's (his best years) on CD. Let's hope RCA will stop sitting on them.

On the Right Track: Beat, Ballad and Blues 1964-1971

CD-Charts > Music > Jive Jazz
by: Georgie Fame

Release Date July 19, 2004
If you're any fan of Georgie Fame, avoid this at any cost. Yes, there are a lot of tracks, and yes, all the charting hits are here, but that's about all the nice thing I can say about it. Sound quality is all over the map, continuing Raven's propensity towards pulling the easiest-to-find master and using it instead of doing their homework. Things are mono that should be stereo, and things that should be mono are in abominable rechanneled (i.e. phony) stereo. Fame deserves better than this. Save your money and find a copy of "20 Beat Classics" plus any of the UK CBS collections still floating around.

Complete Columbia Master Takes

CD-Charts > Music > Jive Jazz
by: Slim & Slam

Release Date April 05, 2004
I eared Slam Stewart several years ago on a cassette a friend had done for me. It was a performance done with Major Holley. I didn't know Holley (I just eared Mule at some point but no more) and just had Slam Stewart as info. I searched for long time anything about Slam Stewart with no success. And then, I discovered this album. At first, I tought it was the same thing on the cassette because I was in presence of a duet. I concluded the duet I earded was Slam and Slim. I was wrong but Slam and Slim is a great discovery. I have, by now, a very good idea of what preceded Slam and Major I finally found on "Shut Yo' Mouth" at the very same time as the Complete Colombia Master Takes album. The later is a very original and precise reproduction of what was the trend ... Read More:
