Music reviews of The Complete Decca Recordings
Music Review: The Count, in all his spendor!
Rating: 5 Stars
Overall, a very fine three-album set loaded with many tunes which were new to me and my collection of 'The Count'. A very warm analog to digital mixing, which makes the tone mellow and easy to listen on all tracks. This is a definitive anthology--enjoy all of the gems presented!
Description of The Complete Decca Recordings
Ellington's band had more grace and sophistication, but no big band swung harder than the incomparable Basie band. Recorded between 1937 and 1939, these 63 classics feature a cornucopia of legendary musicians: Herschel Evans' big-toned, earthy tenor balances Lester Young's ethereal tenor. Harry "Sweets" Edison's soaring blares complement Buck Clayton's muted trumpet. Jimmy Rushing's nasal, booming operatics contrast with Helen Humes's precise elegance. The Freddie Green-Walter Page-Jo Jones rhythm section flawlessly anchors the driving 4/4 rhythm. And, of course, there's the leader's minimalist piano, using just the right, essential mix of boogie-woogie and stride. These three CDs are peppered with what would become jazz standards and should be a cornerstone of any music library. --Marc GreilsamerGeneral CDs
