Music reviews of Fletcher Henderson 1897-1952

Music Review: THREE-AND-A-HALF YEARS' COMPLETE OUTPUT
Rating: 5 Stars

This 2-CD set begins with Henderson's final recording session for Decca, on 25th September 1934 (two of the titles from which were not issued on 78), but for one alternate take includes all of the numbers recorded for Victor at four sessions during 1936, and everything recorded for Vocalion at five sessions in 1937, and one 2-day session in 1938. It's beautifully remastered and complements most existing releases, which tend to concentrate on his earlier output.

This is packaged in a long-box with an accompanying unsigned 20-page booklet, some of which reads like a polemic. In particular, the reference to W.C. Handy, Harry Pace, and Black Swan includes so many errors that it's difficult to know where to begin, but I shall try. Pace was not the first black record producer, nor did he only employ black talent, his later catalogue included many pseudonymous releases by white artists. Nor was W. C. Handy involved, in fact his autobiography contained a disclaimer to that effect.

So you should buy it for the music, and treat the text with some caution.
