Betcha Bottom Dollar

Betcha Bottom Dollar (2007) more music like this

by Puppini Sisters

Poised somewhere between the Andrews Sisters and Nouvelle Vague, the Puppini Sisters modernize vocal harmony pop while keeping its "so traditional, it's hip" appeal. On their debut Betcha Bottom Dollar, the Sisters' style is their substance; it's not a coincidence that the founding Puppini, Marcella, worked for fashion icon Vivienne Westwood ...

The Essential Louis Armstrong [Columbia\Legacy]

The Essential Louis Armstrong [Columbia\Legacy] (2004) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

Even at two discs and 37 tracks, it's difficult to say that this set contains everything that is truly essential from Louis Armstrong's monumental five-decade career. It does, however, do a great job of touching down at key points, and nicely balances Armstrong's various guises as a groundbreaking sideman, soloist, bandleader, singer, and ...

by Chick Webb & His Orchestra

Released in 1996, Proper Box 97 contains 99 sides recorded under the leadership of master drummer Chick Webb beginning with the session of March 30, 1931 and ending with a recording made live at the Southland Cafe in Boston on May 4, 1939, a little over a month before he succumbed to spinal tuberculosis at the tender age of 30 (his last words ...

Gold

Gold (2006) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

Annotator Bob Porter begins his liner notes to Hip-O Records' Louis Armstrong compilation Gold by citing a chart statistic: Leadoff track "What a Wonderful World" became a Top 40 hit in 1988, 20 years after it was recorded, due to its inclusion in the movie Good Morning, Vietnam. That is a clue to the approach that the collection takes -- this is ...

King Louis (2005) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

Simply put, this imported Proper box set -- containing four discs and a lovely booklet -- documents the recordings Louis Armstrong made with His Hot Fives and Sevens between 1923 and 1929, as well as his sides with King Oliver and some as a bandleader after the demise of those bands. It's true, Sony/BMG Legacy has issued a three-disc set of the ...

The Mad Twenties

The Mad Twenties (1959) more music like this

by Bobby Short

For his fifth full-length Atlantic Records album, Bobby Short looked back 30 years to create the genre exercise The Mad Twenties. It turned out to be a wonderful evocation of the 1920s that restored that roaring decade's sense of musical abandon. Short, always a bravura performer, was abetted by appropriately jazzy Dixieland-style arrangements by ...

Jazz at Westminster College

Jazz at Westminster College (1956) more music like this

by The Dixie Stompers

When Bob Koester founded Delmark Records in St. Louis in 1953 (before Koester moved his label to Chicago), one of his main areas of interest was Dixieland. Koester was not interested in Dixieland exclusively -- Delmark has always been as much of a blues label as it is a jazz label -- but documenting the Dixieland revival in the Midwest in the '50s ...

The Mad Twenties/My Personal Property (2001) more music like this

by Bobby Short

Collectables Records' two-fer of Bobby Short's 1959 album The Mad Twenties and My Personal Property from 1963 matches up two quite different releases on the same CD, both pleasing works on their own. The Mad Twenties, as its name suggests, is a collection of songs from the 1920s. Short and arranger/conductor Phil Moore have put together small ...

Town Hall Concerts, Vol. 5 (1944) more music like this

by Eddie Condon

This two-CD set, as is true of the other very valuable releases in the Eddie Condon Town Hall series (which had never before been reissued complete and in chronological order), features four well-recorded radio shows that logically showcase the individual members of Condon's remarkable all-star groups. These Dixielandish (but never corny or overly ...

Rhythm Man (1992) more music like this

by Chick Webb

Along with units led by Fletcher Henderson and Luis Russell, Chick Webb's big band of the early '30s cut some of the smartest and most galvanizing swing of the era. Webb, of course, is best known for chaperoning Ella Fitzgerald's first stretch of stardom, but his instrumental work is not to be missed, especially considering a wealth of progressive ...

1940-1944 (1997) more music like this

by George Wettling

Chicago percussionist George Wettling was famous for his delightful old-fashioned rim-tapping and rock-solid support behind jazz bands both large and small. He was practically the house drummer for Commodore Records and appears on the majority of Eddie Condon's recordings. For the seasoned traditional jazz fanatic, an entire CD documenting a ...

Preservation Jazz (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

This sampler has 15 selections taken from the 1918-1926 period, mixing together some obscurities with well-known jazz performances. One problem is that exact dates (beyond the year) and personnel are not listed, making this of lesser interest to collectors despite the inclusion of a few rarities. The programming is also a bit random, although ...

The Complete Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings, Vol. 1 (2003) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

Legacy has seen fit -- and rightfully so -- to issue the complete recordings of Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Seven as individual volumes instead of just a box set. This is a solid way to go for collectors trying to fill holes. It's also the best way for a beginner, not only with Armstrong's music but that of early-recorded jazz, to become ...

Complete Hot Five and Hot Seven Recordings [Definitive Classics] (2001) more music like this

by Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong's legendary quintet and septet recordings from the mid-'20s, known as the Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings, may not exactly be ground zero for jazz, but they certainly mark the beginning of jazz as an American music of unique distinction, pointing out as they do the genre's immense possibilities and versatility, and in Armstrong, ...

Midnight in Moscow/The Roaring Twenties (2003) more music like this

A pair of dates from Eddie Condon & His All-Stars make up this Collectables two-fer. Both are quasi-concept albums, the first (1962's Midnight in Moscow) a swing-around-the-world session prompted by Kenny Ball's surprise hit with the title song one year earlier. The lineup includes trumpeter Bobby Hackett, pianist Dick Cary, Peanuts Hucko on ...

These 36 tracks include such Satchmo standards as "Struttin' with Some Barbecue," "Cornet Chop Suey," "Potato Head Blues," and "Perdido Street Blues."
