The Best of Pete Fountain [GRP]

The Best of Pete Fountain [GRP] (1961) more music like this

by Pete Fountain

Although this CD draws its 22 selections from clarinetist Pete Fountain's best period (his years on the Coral label), the selections picked are sometimes a bit eccentric. Fountain is heard playing Dixieland with some of his bands, but is also joined by -- choral groups and occasional strings; no personnel listing or even recording dates are ...

Pete Fountain Presents the Best of Dixieland

Pete Fountain Presents the Best of Dixieland (2001) more music like this

by Pete Fountain

There are relatively few of Pete Fountain's early-'60s Coral recordings available on CD, which is a pity because those rank with the finest work of the New Orleans clarinetist's career. This sampler in a series presented by Fountain has 20 selections in all. A dozen cuts comprise the complete reissue of the 1963 album South Rampart Street Parade, ...

Casa Loma Stomp (1929) more music like this

by Casa Loma Orchestra

Although the later versions of the Casa Loma Orchestra were better-known, the big band was an early pacesetter during the late '20s/early '30s when (particularly among white orchestra) there were few competitors. This album from the Scottish Hep label has the orchestra's 14 best recordings out of the 21 that they cut during their first six ...

Maniac's Ball (1996) more music like this

by Casa Loma Orchestra

During a period of time when few jazz-oriented big bands existed outside of Harlem, the Casa Loma Orchestra helped set the stage for the swing era. Gene Gifford's arrangements for the ensemble during 1929-1935 were later criticized for using some staccato phrasing and an excess of riffs, but the music still sounds quite exciting today. Maniac's ...

Economy Hall Breakdown

Economy Hall Breakdown (1965) more music like this

by Jim Robinson

Often the success of a New Orleans jazz session depends on the quality of the trumpeter. For this enjoyable LP, the underrated Johnny Wiggs leads the ensembles and his subtle yet driving lead makes the date quite noteworthy. Trombonist Jim Robinson (who sings on "Bye and Bye") is the nominal leader, and as usual, he adds plenty of color to the ...

The Transcriptions Performances 1935 (1999) more music like this

by Claude Hopkins

The Hep record label deserves high praise for having reissued 25 broadcast acetate recordings by the Claude Hopkins orchestra dating from the autumn of 1935. Using arrangements by Benny Carter, Fred Norman and Hopkins himself, this band sounded better at times than they did on their commercially issued records. Soloists include clarinetist Edmond ...

1939-1940 (1999) more music like this

by Wingy Manone & His Orchestra

Wingy Manone's popular series of Dixieland-flavored combo records continued in 1939-40. This CD, the sixth in Classics' complete reissuance of Manone's recordings of the era, is most notable for having tenor saxophonist Chu Berry as a key sideman on three of the four sessions. Also heard in the supporting cast on some of the dates are clarinetist ...

The Mills Brothers, Vol. 2: 1931-1934 (1998) more music like this

by The Mills Brothers

This second volume of Mills Brothers recordings from 1931 to 1934 adds 23 non-chronologically sequenced selections, bringing to 50 the number of tracks drawn from the group's recordings on Brunswick and Decca Records during the period. The hits have been scattered between the two discs, so that, for example, the 1931 recording of "Tiger Rag" is ...
