Comments and Reviews

fixbutte 19th May 2014		For those who can hear and see (not me though, as the YT videos are blocked in Germany because of GEMA reasons), here are the first two (of six) parts of Perdido, played by Jazz at the Philharmonic on Sep 27, 1947, at the Carnegie Hall, New York, featuring Illinois Jacquet and Flip Phillips (tenor saxes), Bill Harris (trombone), Howard McGhee (trumpet), Jo Jones (drums), Ray Brown (bass), and Hank Jones (piano).
fixbutte 19th May 2014		I may disclose that I could actually purchase the box set last week when I made a trip to Berlin, browsing the big culture store there, Dussmann in Friedrichstrasse. Although I haven't got beyond Disc 1 yet, I'm really happy that I own it now, if only for the first three two-part recordings of that disc, as I really dig that wild Jazz At The Philharmonic stuff. I dared to scan the booklet (well, the first 32 pages until now), and the binding did not break! There are some inaccuracies in the discographical data there (e.g. every single released from October 1948 to July 1953 - #89063 - was actually on Mercury first, not on Clef), but it's still an immense source of information. By the way, I made two lists for another site some years ago (not finalized yet) which may be a worthwhile additional information for those interested in Norman Granz' early activities: Hot Jazz in the 1950s: Norman Granz' 8900/89000 Series on Mercury, Clef and Verve Norman Granz' Jazz at the Philharmonic and Related Stuff.
PhilMH 10th May 2014		All writers now added, wasn't too bad after all, but in the process I picked up a couple of my mistakes from last night: track 3-08 title should be "Cry Me A River", and 4-09 is missing an O from "Woolf". Mod: corrected
PhilMH 10th May 2014		Yes, good idea Nick, I should have thought of that! For now, I'll just add the release date, which seems to have been 18th November 2013 in Europe and elsewhere - I was able to add it as a Spotify playlist on 24th November - and the US Verve website gives a US release date of 10th December 2013.
nboldock 9th May 2014		Phil, if you use "Add Missing Info" you can do the composer credits in stages if you don't want to sit and do them all at once. Quite handy, that - and saves on the finger ache!
PhilMH 9th May 2014		The booklet might be a bit tricky to scan, it is 48 5"x 5" paperback pages, so the binding would break if I tried to lay it flat. But yes, that last Stan Getz track was recorded in Paris in November 1971, and so probably represented Verve's last gasp at that point, as MGM Records was sold to Polydor in 1972 due to the parent company's near-bankruptcy. The Diana Krall track from 2001 bears the notation "originally released to radio".
fixbutte 9th May 2014		I'd really like to see excerpts of the enclosed booklet for further information. I guess that Diana Krall (on 5-20) is from 2001, but was the second to last (Stan Getz' Communications '72, on 5-19) actually from 1972? Anyway there seems to be a huge gap on the last disc (1965-2001).
PhilMH 9th May 2014		An excellent overview indeed, though perhaps one or two too many movie themes in the second half of the set, the organ on Kai Winding's "More" sounds like something you would hear at an ice-skating rink! But there are gems a-plenty, from Billie Holiday's and Ben Webster's back-to-back versions of "Tenderly", to Oscar Peterson singing (!) on "I've Never Left Your Arms" (along with his elegant piano pieces "The Golden Striker" and "Hymn To Freedom"), and of course Ella, though "Ringo Beat" is something that everyone involved should have thought better of!
fixbutte 9th May 2014		This seems to be an excellent overview on Verve (and actually some earlier labels of Norman Granz) that I should purchase myself. Although "singles" never was a valid category for Verve, still some of these numbers were hits, mostly on the R&B charts in the 1950s, and a few, like The Girl From Ipanema, even made it to the pop charts. Anyway a lot of my favorite jazz artists have been newly added to the database hereby.
PhilMH 9th May 2014		Five CDs, artists and titles copied and pasted from Music Collector - that was the easy bit, writers to be painstakingly entered tomorrow (or whenever).
