by
Dill Jones
Dill Jones was a phenomenal jazz pianist who recorded only sparingly under his own name, though he made quite a few discs with others. The Welshman was a formidable stride player who also swung like mad. This expanded reissue of the earlier Chiaroscuro LP not only restores a long-deleted album to print, but adds 19 previously unreleased tracks. ...

Bob Crosby & His Orchestra
Bob Crosby led one of the hottest big bands of the 1930s, a unit that although filled with swing stylists could play Dixieland with the joy and spontaneity of a small group. In time, Bob Crosby's Bobcats would overshadow the big band, but this definitive CD shows how enjoyable the orchestra could be. With such soloists as trumpeters Yank Lawson ...

by
Carroll Best
The title Say Old Man, Can You Play the Banjo? demands a response from the listener, and the answer is a resounding "yes" -- Carroll Best can play the banjo and play it well. But it isn't so much that he is proficient on the banjo; many musicians play Scrugg's style and claw-hammer banjo well. Best's style stands out because it is based on a ...

Long out of print, this CD reissue adds MC John Hammond's insightful (if poorly recorded) introductions and a number of bonus tracks. Teddy Wilson's opening set is ...
