Her er 5 gamle men gode nyheder. Genudgivelser på 200g vinyl - det betyder at de i en periode er til at betale. Nogle sælger deres gl. originaler så det næste års tid kan de måske også fås.
En af de bedste vokal plader nogensinde, og efter min beskedne mening Ella’s allerbedste. De 3 fremhævede numre er referencen for alle andre, Sinatra ville end ikke synge Black Coffee selvom den ellers lå lige til hans voice. Ella havde sunget hvad der skulle synges.
Pladen er meget svære at finde og næsten umulig at betale, så denne genudgivelse er endnu en chance. MUST HAVE.
This soundtrack is one of those rare recordings that is often overlooked because of the relative obscurity of the film. Of the 13 songs recorded and presented on this LP, only three were actually used in the film. Ella is accompanied by Paul Smith on piano and performs tunes like “Misty,” “Angel Eyes,” “Black Coffee” and a host of others with breathtaking finesse and sensitivity. Transferred from the original two-track analog master tape by Bernie Grundman.
De to næste går jeg udfra at alle har i et eller andet format. Det er blues summit, det er ganske enkelt noget af det bedste musik der nogensinde er optaget. Alene nummeret Weary Blues, gør disse 2 tunge vinyler til en billig musikoplevelse. Hvis der blev prissat efter kvalitet skulle de koste 1 million.

Side By Side is the follow-up to Back To Back where Ellington meets Hodges and an all-star lineup that includes Harry “Sweets” Edison on trumpet, Al Hall on bass, Leslie Spann on guitar and flute, Jo Jones on drums, Ben Webster on tenor sax and Billy Strayhorn on piano. Another Verve direct-to-two-track recording that is back by popular demand for the first time on Classic’s 200-gram Quiex Super Vinyl Profile.
Back to Back, like its compendium Side By Side, has The Duke teamed up with Johnny Hodges and an all-star lineup to play the blues – jazz-style. On tunes like “Wabash Blues,” “Basin Street Blues,” “St. Louis Blues” and “Weary Blues” among others it is thrilling to hear Harry “Sweets” Edison playing trumpet, Sam Jones on bass and “Philly” Joe Jones on drums. Recorded directly to two-track and transferred from the original master by Bernie Grundman, this title has long been out of print
Hvis du ikke ved hvad dette er, så lad den stå til en der ved det.
In the the late 1950s, after some health problems, Bruno Walter relocated to California where he recorded entire Brahms and Beethoven cycles produced by Columbia’s John McClure. This reading of Brahms’ Fourth Symphony is noteworthy both in terms of its romantic performance as well as the recording sonics. Transferred from the original three-track session masters directly to lacquer reveals dynamics and melodic contrasts that were always obscured on original pressings cut from the two-track production mix down masters which were also heavily equalized in the high frequency, resulting in a steely string sound with a lot of tape hiss that was accentuated by the equalization. This recording is glorious in its soundstage breadth and the low level detail that convinces one that Walter was truly one of the masters.
Medens andre lyner og brager den 31., lightner jeg bare Hopkins, desværre kan det ikke nå at blive denne.
Sam “Lightnin’” Hopkins, a true poet who invented most of his lyrics on the spot and never seemed to run out of new ideas, was a blues giant of post-war blues whose style was rooted in pre-war Texas traditions. While he cranked up his amp to fierce proportions when performing for his friends at Houston juke joints, producers who recorded him for the so-called folk-blues market usually insisted that he use an acoustic guitar for more “authentic” results. Either way, Lightnin’ seldom made a bad record, and this June 4, 1963 session on which he played acoustic was among his finest, thanks much to the sensitive support of bassist Leonard Gaskin and drummer Herbie Lovelle, who did a remarkable job of following his irregular bar patterns and abrupt song endings.
