An Anthology of Big Band Swing (1930-1955)

An Anthology of Big Band Swing (1930-1955) (1931) more music like this

by Various Artists

This two-CD set is an unusually successful sampler. Although there are a few hits among the 40 selections, many obscurities are also included, and not all of the big bands represented are major names, such as Tiny Bradshaw, Noble Sissle, Spud Murphy, Teddy Powell and Jan Savitt. The emphasis is very much on jazz, and this worthy reissue is ...

Centennial Album

Centennial Album (1935) more music like this

by Isham Jones

Isham Jones led first-class dance bands during the 1920-40 era that sometimes were jazz-influenced. This 1994 CD has radio transcriptions taken from two occasions in 1935 and 1937 and emphasizes the jazz side of Jones' music. The 1935 band (which is heard on 17 of the 22 selections) is most notable for including Woody Herman (who has several ...

Swingin' Down the Lane [Living Era]

Swingin' Down the Lane [Living Era] (2005) more music like this

by Isham Jones

At its best the Isham Jones Orchestra was capable of playing real jazz. The strongest and hottest instrumental tracks woven into this Memphis Archives compilation emanate a substantiality approaching that of early Fletcher Henderson or very early Duke Ellington. "Farewell Blues" and "Memphis Blues," recorded in January 1923, swing a little on the ...

Vol. 1

Vol. 1 (1929) more music like this

by Isham Jones

Isham Jones, best-known as an important songwriter, led a series of interesting bands during the 1920's and 30's. His 1929-31 edition essentially played hot dance music. All but three of the 24 selections on this CD (two alternate takes plus "Stardust") have vocals by either Frank Sylvano, Billy Scott or Eddie Stone and there are some fine solos ...

The Roaring Twenties [Box]

The Roaring Twenties [Box] (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

Along with bathtub gin and an ever-rising stock market, another reason we think of the 1920s as a decade of excitement is the music, so much of which seems to have been performed at a foxtrot. This 40-song sampler certainly supports that impression, as the tempo rarely slows. And when it does, the music doesn't become subtle; it's either comic, as ...

Saturday Night Swing Club

Saturday Night Swing Club (1937) more music like this

by Various Artists

This double CD brings back an entire radio broadcast, the first anniversary show of the legendary Saturday Night Swing Club. The many performances are often classic, the recording quality is excellent (except for three songs by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli that were performed live in France and are very full of static) and even the ...

Another in Rhino's continuing line of pre-rock popular music anthologies featuring ten hits from the 1920s. This six-disc slate accents tunes that were hits as determined by Billboard. The first disc contains seminal country from Vernon Dalhart alongside light fluff from Guy Lombardo and Selvin's Novelty Orchestra. The dominant acts are Paul ...

The Great Isham Jones and His Orchestra (1932) more music like this

by Isham Jones

Isham Jones' Depression-era orchestra is heard on 16 of their better titles from the era on this excellent but long out-of-print LP in RCA's famous Vintage series. The personnel, which includes trombonist Jack Jenney and some musicians who would later be a part of Woody Herman's first orchestra, is mostly fairly anonymous, although the ensembles ...

1922-1926 (2000) more music like this

by Isham Jones & His Orchestra

Isham Jones led a major jazz-influenced dance band during the 1920s. Seventeen of his better performances that featured cornetist Louis Panico during 1922-1924 highlight this CD, including "Those Longing for You Blues," "Aunt Hagar's Children Blues," "Somebody's Wrong," and "Never Again." One can appreciate why Panico was held in such high regard ...
