The Best of the Big Bands
(1936)
more music like this
by
Artie Shaw
Artie Shaw's first big band was quite unusual, originally comprised of four horns, a string quartet and a four-piece rhythm section. This unimaginatively titled CD (whose chatty liner notes unfortunately do not include personnel and date information) has the first 16 recordings by this fine orchestra, featuring vocals by the forgettable Wesley ...

by
Louis Armstrong
This four-CD set does its best to summarize Louis Armstrong's career during 1923-1934, reissuing 81 of his finest recordings. The problem is that virtually all of the innovative trumpeter/vocalist's records from the era (particularly 1923-1931) are essential, and collectors will want to work on acquiring more complete series, so this box is most ...

His First Three Bands: 1936-1940

more music like this
by
Artie Shaw
Artie Shaw is acknowledged as one of the great jazz clarinetists and bandleaders of the swing era. Initially, Shaw's combination of odd, modernistic charts and his lack of leadership ability made it impossible to keep a functioning band together. By 1940, however, Shaw had worked out the kinks and found himself in the same league as Benny Goodman ...

Benny Goodman
This two-CD set was originally issued as a deluxe multi-disc set in Columbia's Masterwork series and was intended as a companion piece to Goodman's best-selling Live at Carnegie Hall, a record so successful that it was parceled out by Columbia in as many piecemeal configurations and vinyl speed formats as is imaginable. Mainly pulled from Goodman ...

Kid Ory
The modern trombone can be traced back to the 14th and 15th century "sackbut," a rudimentary slip horn descended from the medieval slide trumpet. The 20th century jazz trombone grew directly from the life and work of Kid Ory (1886-1973), master of the purr, the growl, and the unmistakable "tailgate" glissando forever associated with old-fashioned ...

Artie Shaw
After playing in a few bands in the late '20s and early '30s, clarinetist Artie Shaw formed the first of his several big bands in 1936. This initial group was unique, to say the least: Along with a core jazz band, Shaw also included a string section and a Dixieland-style contingent. In spite of the odd instrumentation, though, Shaw's first band ...
