a- Albert King; b- Jamie Ross With Leo’s Five; c- Charles Drain) Ultra-desirable, early 60s St. Louis R & 

B. The late vocalist Leo Gooden was an important local mover-and-shaker whose ear for talent helped him 

assemble one of the best bands of its time. Assembled initially to be the house band at Gooden’s Blue Note 

Club, “Leo’s Five” soon took on an identity of their own. The driving rhythm section of drummer Kenny Rice 

and organist Don James was something of a prototype for the small Jazz-R&B combos that abounded on the 

early-mid 60s, such as those of Jimmy McGriff and Jimmy Smith, while the hard saxophone of tenor player 

Charles ‘Little Man’ Wright led a horn section to die for. [Item Code: 63366 CD: $19.00]

While Tex retained the Cooley sound to a large degree, he was very imaginative with his arrangements, proving that he was both a knowledgeable 

musician and an outstanding band leader. Many of the Caravan’s tunes were up-tempo, a counterpart to the 

big band sound of the day. [Item Code: 63620 2-CD: $19.00]

know what Western Music sounded like. That is reason enough for these CDs to be made available to all 

who have a deep appreciation of Western Music. [Item Code: 63621 2-CD: $19.00]

from the available recordings - originally on LPs and later re-released on CD - interesting newly discovered 

unreleased material by the Dizzy Gillespie State Department Orchestra surfaced a few years ago. The titles 

and the orchestral framework of the compositions are mostly the same as those on the existing Verve releases, 

but the interpretations vary greatly. In many cases, the band actually sounds even better than on the original 

releases. It has not been determined exactly where and when these recordings were made, although it must 

have been during the summer of 1957, after the Latin American tour when the band performed in Chester, 

Pennsylvania and at the Newport Jazz Festival. [Item Code: 63415 CD: $17.00]

an excellent singer and a great big band. This Olfert Dapper CD consists mostly of radio transcriptions that 

were broadcast for the US Marine Corps in the early 1950s. Of course good old nostalgia is present in ample 

doses, but if you make the effort to listen objectively to this collection of a dozen instrumental pieces and 

17 vocal contributions of Lucy Ann Polk, you will have to admit that this is the work of a first-class singer,

has resulted in the CD release of the work by the British, almost forgotten composer•pianist, Reginald Foresythe (1907-1958). English jazz historian 

Val Wilmer and Dutch jazz historian Herman Openneer came up with the historical photographic material and liner notes. All the recordings are 

from the period 1933-1945 and are performed by Foresythe’s own orchestra as well as by the orchestras of Earl Hines, Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, 

Benny Goodman and Paul Whiteman. The original 78 rpm records were restored by Harry Coster. [Item Code: 63414 CD: $17.00]

He also produced an inventory and description of the entire collection. Harry Coster, an expert in the 

area of sound restoration, put himself at the mercy of the many sound fragments so that the recordings would 

be free of all white noise, scratches, and glitches. De Vries’s photos, graphics, and self-produced album covers, 

along with Louis Armstrong’s autograph (that De Vries got in 1933, during Armstrong’s first performance 

in th Netherlands) serve as illustrations. [Item Code: 63417 CD: $17.00]

Mirror Man • In A Sentimental Mood • Setting Sun Blues • Broadway • Red, Crack And Blue (Personnel: 

Jaki Byard, Milt Hinton, Ben Riley) [1990] Ricky Ford is one of the new breed of younger jazz stars with 

a deep appreciation for and knowledge of the music’s history and tradition. You can hear his historical perspective 

in a performance like Broadway on this album where he evokes the highly charged spirit of Don 

Byas. Or in Red, Vrack and Blue where he recalls the bluesy, balladic approach of Ben Webster. In Ebony 

Rhapsody, Ford shows how to creatively and respectfully recast a piece by an old master (Liszt) into music 

wholly relevant to our times. Ricky Ford - tenor saxophone with Jaki Byard - piano, Milt Hinton - bass and 

Ben Riley - drums. [Item Code: 63430 CD: $11.00]

Jumper (Personnel: Kenny Barron, Ron Carter, Jimmy Cobb) [1990] More solid, straight-ahead post bop

of pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Jimmy Cobb. Recorded live, the sweetly syncopated 

set soars highest with Morganelli’s “The Jolly Jumper”, Barron’s “Dream”, “Thad Jones”, “A Child Is Born” as well as such standard as Kurt Weill’s 

“Speak Low”, Heyman•Young’s “When I Fall In Love” and Gerhswin’s “Summertime”. [Item Code: 63431 CD: $11.00]

Tana) [1990] This is Sumi Tonooka’s first Candid album and shines with the distinctive blend of sensitivity 

and skill that mark both her playing and her compositions. It is a subtle showcase for a pianist whose dexterity 

and grace inform each tune, without ever suppressing the unique voices of her band members. Drummer 

Akira Tana and bassist Rufus Reid share a long association with Sumi. “Akira and Rufus are both open in 

terms of how they interpret music so the music can go to a lot of different places,” says Sumi. “Akira has a 

beautiful drum sound, and uses brushes exceptionally well.” This album is an important milestone in Sumi’s 

blossoming career; It is a thoughtful and lovely compilation and demonstrates elegantly that the life force is 

indeed alive and well in Sumi Tonooka’s hands. [Item Code: 63204 CD: $11.00]

Pentachronic • But Beautiful • What Is This Thing Called Love? (Personnel: Kenny Barron, Peter Washington) 

[1993] For this first outing on Candid, vibraphonist Steve Hobbs chose what might be described as the All- 

American rhythm section - guys who are quite simply the best - the impeccable Kenny Barron on piano and 

master craftsmen Peter Washington (bass) and Victor Lewis (drums). There was a certain chemistry, a rush of 

adrenaline and an aura of anticipation and excitement generated on the date recorded on New York’s Lower East Side. The musicians unfamiliarity 

with each other’s styles meant that everyone had to be in top gear to make this session come off the way it should. Steve can be more than satisfied 

that the four musicians gathered together on this marvelous dated produced some truly memorable music 

which is a credit to all concerned - individually and collectively. [Item Code: 63205 CD: $16.00]

• Parallel • For Tony • Vera’s Song • Bebop Baby (Personnel: Richie Cole, Chris Neville, Paul Del Nero, 

Artie Cabral) [1994] Greg Abate’s music is direct and understandable, beautiful and relaxed to which 

Greg’s previous Candid albums provide excellent testimony. This third Candid date Greg pairs with another 

unashamed bebop master - Richie Cole. The two reed men have worked together on and off for several 

years. As Greg says, “We feed off each other very well - Richie was a great player. I like his energy and his 

sound.” Greg plays here almost the entire saxophone family in a stimulating program ranging from the roaring 

“Fast Lane Rhythm” to his beautiful ballad “From The Heart”. “I play this stuff with all my heart,” says 

Greg. [Item Code: 63432 CD: $16.00]

and sung by Jamie Cullum. Featuring 5 original compositions by the band leader Tom Richards who takes a giant step forward from being one of 

the UK’s leading young saxophonists to acquiring his own one-of-a kind sound that goes far beyond that of 

the average big band. Tom is one of the world’s rising stars of jazz - he has toured all over the world with the 

iconic Jamie Cullum. Star members of the band include award winning pianist Gwilym Simcock, vibist Jim 

Hart, flutist Gareth Lochrane and tenor saxophonist Brandon Allen. [Item Code: 63206 CD: $16.00]

Voyage To Kagoshima • Que Reste-T-Il De Nos Amours (Personnel: Ryoko Nuruki, Marc Peillon, El Fakir 

Abou) [2007] Bonsai Bop marks the recording debut of a truly outstanding artist. Ryoko’s skills emanate 

from a classical background - she is at once both dynamically percussive - building impressive crescendi, 

yet incredibly sensitive with a magical, intimate touch for bringing out the true melodies and harmonies as 

she caresses each note on her ultra sensitive ballads. She has an amazing rapport with virtuoso bassist Marc 

Peillon and the dynamic drums of Le Fakir Abou making this a trio in the real sense of the word - a truly 

integrated band who play perfectly for and with each other. Ryoko’s fascinating stylistic mix is inspired by 

her Japanese roots, allied to her passion for jazz and classical music. [Item Code: 63207 CD: $16.00]

same name, takes listeners back to the ‘50s where love was definitely in the air - especially when it came to 

the warm, inviting sounds floating out over the mainstream pop airwaves. It’s doubtful that any other single 

era produced as many timeless romantic songs as this golden era in which young love was exalted. This 3- 

CD collection features perpetual love songs from Nat “King” Cole, Desi Arnaz, Andy Williams, Pat Boone, 

Judy Garland, Eartha Kitt, Peggy Lee, Doris Day, Perry Como, Bing Crosby, Johnny Mathis, and many others.

Midnight Sun • Flying Home • Django • Back Home Again In Indiana • Body And Soul • Godchild • Joao 

• Hole In The Wall • Dance Of The Octopus (Personnel: Russell Malone, Mulgrew Miller, Makoto Ozone, 

Danilo Perez, Christian McBride, John Patitucci, Horacio Hernandez, Lewis Nash, Luis Quintero) [2000] 

With this set, Burton offers homage to Lionel Hampton (Hamp), Red Norvo, Milt Jackson (Bags), and Cal 

Tjader by performing and updating their greatest signature tunes. Burton has long been recognized as having 

culminated all the developments of these past masters into his own virtuoso style. Here he expertly displays 

these abilities on the very pieces that inspired him along the way.The disc mainly alternates between sophisticated 

Latin grooves, as in the opening classic “Afro Blue,” and traditional swing numbers like Hampton’s 

great “Flying Home.” Burton shows the uncanny ability to be both a technical wizard, employing a flurrying 

barrage of four-mallet technique, and to swing unrelentingly. Cuts like the old fashioned “Back Home Again 

In Indiana” and Denzil Best’s swinger “Move” exhibits these abilities to the fullest. In the end, the two most 

intriguing tracks are the ending tributes to Red Norvo, the ragtime “Hole in the Wall” and the impressionistic 

“Dance of the Octopus,” which find Burton performing on xylophone and marimba, respectively. [Item

Yvonne Lanauze 1950) [1958] The complete original classic album Black, Brown and Beige with Mahalia 

Jackson’s poignant voice backed by the Ellington orchestra. As a bonus, three vocal related Ellington works: 

the suite “Portrait of Ella Fitzgerald” – Duke and Billy Strayhorn’s dedication to the famous singer – and 

the only two vocal arrangements from the album Masterpieces by Ellington. The history of Black, Brown & 

Beige began on June 23, 1943, when Duke Ellington premiered this extended work at Carnegie Hall. Most 

critics could not accept the idea of Ellington composing long musical works and preferred to confine him to 

jazz songs. From then on, Ellington performed only fragments of Black, Brown & Beige during concerts and 

broadcasts in the mid forties, and no testimony of any part of the work being played exists between 1947 

and the making of the album presented here, in 1958. The 1958 album Black, Brown & Beige, isn’t a recording 

of the whole composition, but an extended reworking on two of his most important themes, mostly 

“Come Sunday” and “Work Song”. Thus, it cannot be compared with the original 1943 performance, and 

must be listened to as an individual work. The 1958 album is not at all a pastiche of the old suite but a new 

reflection on its main musical themes, to which the added voice of Mahalia Jackson gives a new emotive 

dimension. [Item Code: 63474 CD: $15.00]

at the first Newport Jazz Festival (which took place two years before the actual studio date). “Now’s the

Jan Lundgren, Joe La Barbera) [2008] Tragically died at the age of forty-one, Ralph Rainger (1901-1942) 

was in his time one of America’s most admired and respected composers. A giant contributor to the Hollywood 

musical of the 30s, whose timeless hits include “Easy Living,” “I Wished on the Moon,” “If I Should 

Lose You” and Academy Award winner “Thanks for the Memory”. The music he wrote will endure forever, 

but today his name is hardly recognized. For some inexplicable reason, you seldom find Rainger linked with contemporaries Harold Arlen, Irving 

Berlin, George Gershwin, Jimmy McHugh, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers or Harry Warren, yet his best melodies were certainly equal 

in calibre to those iconic figures. This CD celebrating the composer’s finest achievements should help to 

redress the balance and right a patent wrong to the memory of a remarkable talent. Justice has been done 

by three exceptional musicians: pianist Jan Lundgren, bassist Chuck Berghofer, drummer Joe La Barbera, and 

a legendary vocalist, Sue Raney, who know understand appreciate the Rainger canon. [Item Code: 63470

• Drum Case • The Red Lightning • Ballad for Brew • Rod’s Shtick • Sizzling • The Strootch (Personnel: Sam Yahel, 

Ben Street, Kresten Osgood) [2006] Like Bent, Charles is well known and highly respected by his peers, but not as 

known to the general public as he deserves to be. He also has remained open to all types of music in his long 

career and today he is still found in as different contexts as Barry Harris group and the Sun Ra Arkestra. He 

is completely committed to his musical message, a timeless yet constantly evolving message. Like Bent, he 

has released only a handful of albums under his own name, but they are of extremely high quality. Charles 

Davis is a master of the saxophone and I am truly honored that he has agreed to do this album. His writing 

was sparse, but when he wrote something it was precise. I would guess that there are around 15 Bent Jaedig 

compositions that we know of. On this album we have recorded 8 of them. I wanted people to hear this music 

interpreted by the best quartet I could imagine. I see Ben Street as the most important bassist of his generation, highly original and sophisticated, 

also Sam Yahel, to me, is playing the most exiting stuff on the scene today on piano and organ. [Item Code: 63471 CD: $16.00]

Lamp-Post • Deed I Do • Moonlight Serenade • Changes • I’m Coming Virginia • Dinah • You’re Driving Me 

Crazy • Chinese Laundry Blues • I’m Sitting On Top Of The World • A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square 

• Lover Come Back To Me • Somewhere Over The Rainbow • After You’ve Gone (Personnel: Hayley Moyses, Fraser Gartshore, Clive Fenton, 

Graham Collicott) Over 30 years of banjo playing is displayed with this professionally produced recording. Accompanied by his sister Hayley 

(violin and vocal), Fraser Gartshore (piano and kilt), Clive Fenton (sousaphone and tuba) and Graham Collicott (drums and percussion) presented 

for a full 72 minutes of hot jazz banjo tunes, rags, crooners and evergreens. this style of banjo goes back to the Vaudeville days of Eddy Peabody, 

Harry Reser ad Perry Bechtel, but modern influences of Django Reinhardt, Al Casey, Carl Kress and even a hint of Bluegrass picking can be found 

here too. The five string banjo is popular today but in the days before Bluegrass plectrum and tenor (four string) banjo were the kings of the genre. 

give this one a listen, it is original, it has drive, power and subtley...just good music played well. [Item

A Paper Moon • The Sing Song Girl • Crazy Jo • Button Up Your Overcoat • Hard Hearted Hannah • The 

Saint Louis Blues • Ukulele Tagliatelli • At Sundown • Pasadena • Tea For Two • Bye Bye Blues (Personnel: 

Ralf Peyer, Andy Leggett, Matthaias Seuffert, Miryam Stober, Michael Neusser) An exciting genre of 

banjo music by a modern artist. Plectrum banjo, resophonic guitar, ukulele, it’s all in there. Throughout 

the 18 tracks, Moyses switches between banjo, ukulele, banjo uke and guitar to play instrumental solos or 

to accompany his charming vocals. For added variety, the selections are played in ensembles ranging from 

unaccompanied solo banjo to full band. Of particular (and most enjoyable) note are the selections which 

have been arranged in the style of a 1920s dance orchestra. The distinctive setting, which includes both 

bass saxophone and violin supporting Sean’s banjo and vocals, is refreshing and delightful. Sean Moyses is 

a wonderful banjo player who, through his new CD Banjo Power , gives us something more......good music

• Sugarfoot Stomp • You Go To My Head • I Want To Rock (Personnel: Bea Wain, Skeets Herfurt, Leo 

White, Sam Mineo, James Sexton, Walter Smith, Henry Adler, Eddie Yumansen, more) [1937-1938] Larry 

Clinton contributed to many bands. As a bandleader he could never escape his role as the man behind the 

success of his competitors. His opening theme, “The Dipsy Doodle”, was a hit for Tommy Dorsey. His closing 

theme, “ A Study In Brown”, was a hit for Glen Gay. To some it might have appeared that Larry Clinton 

was riding a coattail or two, but not to Clinton. He knew it was the other way around. [Item Code: 2601

• Kiss Me Again • Just One Of Those Things • My Sentimental Heart (Closing Theme) [1946] These 16 

cuts represent a vital contribution to the history of musical radio in its heyday. Moreover, they give us an 

example of still another facet in a distinguished career of a man who, for a decade or more, certainly was 

the country’s best known pianist. [Item Code: 2604 CD: $8.00]

Orleans • Mood Indigo • After You’ve Gone • Hey, Look Me Over • Bourbon Street Parade • Runnin’ Wild • Slide, Frog, Slide • When You’re 

Smiling • Jeepers Creepers • I’m Coming Virginia (Vocals by Frank Assunto) (Likely personnel: Jac Assunto, 

Kenny Davern or Jerry Fuller, Gene Schroeder, Jim Hall or Herb Ellis, Jim Atlas, Charlie Lodice) [1961- 

1962] Around the time that the Dukes of Dixieland recorded the Now Hear This album for Columbia they 

performed the radio transcriptions heard in this 1990 CD for armed services shows. Some of the selections 

are interpreted in similar versions to the Columbia record although naturally the solos are different. The band 

(Frank Assunto on trumpet and four personable vocals, trombonist Fred Assunto, clarinetist Jerry Fuller, Jac 

Assunto on banjo and second trombone, pianist Gene Schroeder and probably guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist 

Jim Atlas and drummer Charlie Lodice) was in top form during the era. These renditions tend to be a little 

briefer than their studio counterparts but plenty of fire is expressed on such numbers as “South Rampart Street 

Parade,” “Down in Honky Tonk Town,” “Slide, Frog, Slide” (a feature for the two trombonists) and even “Hey, 

Look Me Over.” Dukes of Dixieland fans will want this rarity. [Item Code: 1426 CD: $10.00]

Desmond and The Crew Chiefs) [1945] This recording fills a unique niche in the musical history of the final months following the end of World 

War II. These are the farewell performances by the Army Air Forces overseas Orchestra conducted by Sgt. 

Jerry Gray upon its return to the US. The 21 songs heard are air-checks culled from the five programs produced 

and broadcast by the Department of the Army as the orchestra closed out a series of morale-boosting 

radio shows. [Item Code: 5242 CD: $10.00]

Barney Kessel, Howard Rumsey, Dodo Marmarosa, more) [1944-1946] Charlie claims he never intended 

to be a social reformer, but was only looking for the best musicians available. Still, this took a lot of guts 

in the America that existed back in the thirties and forties, and apparently that was something Charlie had 

plenty of. He was a major player in the big band era and a generous contributor to that American cultural 

wonder known as jazz. So, step into your entertainment center Time Machine, fiddle with the control buttons 

at the dial for the forties, and WHOOSH! [Item Code: 18451 CD: $10.00]

career and 1958’s self titled “Ernestine Anderson” which was Ernestine’s first full length U.S. recording session.

945 MILES DAVIS MILESTONES Dr. Jekyll • Sid’s Ahead • Two Bass Hit • Milestones • Billy Boy • 

Straight No Chaser • Little Melonae • Four • Bye Bye Blackbird • Walkin’ • Two Bass Hit (Personnel: John 

Coltrane, Julian “Cannonball” Adderley, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones) The complete classic album Milestones by the celebrated 

Miles Davis Sextet with Cannonball Adderley and John Coltrane. As a bonus, the complete broadcast from the Cafe Bohemia – in which Cannonball 

Adderley was absent, and Bill Evans replaced Garland on piano. The 1958 Miles Davis group wasn’t a 

quintet but a sextet, with the addition of Julian “Cannonball” Adderley on alto sax. “In this group”, explained 

Miles years later, “everybody had played together for over two years, except for Cannonball. But one voice 

can change the entire way a band hears itself, can change the whole rhythm, the whole timing of a band, 

even if everyone else had been playing together forever. It’s a whole new thing when you add or take away 

a voice.” Milestones was the first studio album made by the sextet. It was recorded on February 4 and March 

4, 1958, and the rhythm section was the same as the classic 1956 quintet, with Red Garland on piano, Paul 

Chambers on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums. The next entry in Miles’ discography after the Milestones 

sessions is the May 17, 1958 “Bandstand USA” radio broadcast, recorded live from the Cafe Bohemia in 

New York, which have been added here as a bonus. For some reason, Cannonball Adderley was absent from 

the date and the classic quintet is heard with Bill Evans on piano. This interesting program has circulated in 

many forms over the years, usually with poor sound quality and less complete versions (excluding the final 

announcements and, therefore, all of Coltrane’s solo on “Two Bass Hit”). The current release presents the 

most complete source and the best sound quality. [Item Code: 63478 CD: $17.00]

peak of his musical prowess (between 1927 and 1939). After that he was forced to leave music behind and 

begin a period of silence that would last until june 3, 1961, when the first of the two sessions included on 

this CD were made. A true comeback took place after being honoured at the Newport Jazz Festival, which 

was followed by a handful of recordings. [Item Code: 63427 CD: $15.00]

[1952-1953] 2-CD set. This release presents the complete master takes by Gerry Mulligan’s original 1952- 

53 piano-less quartet with Chet Baker. These recordings would prove enormously influential and set the 

groundwork for many other groups. Includes 8-page booklet. The group clicked immediately under Gerry’s 

direction, and a couple of weeks later we began what turned out to be an eleven-month run at a little club 

across from the Ambassador Hotel called the Haig.” One of the factors that made the quartet special was the 

absence of the piano from the rhythm section, which usually consisted of piano, bass and drums. The lack 

of the piano gave the bass more liberties with the harmony, and also presented the horns with more space to 

improvise. All of their recordings together from that period are on this 2-CD set, with the sole exception of 

five alternate takes that didn’t fit due to time limitations. [Item Code: 63483 2-CD: $25.00]

[1957] To limit a pianist like Oscar Peterson – who is mostly known for his swinging style – to playing straight melodies on what in the mid-fifties 

was called a “mood” album, seems an unlikely possibility. However, like many other jazz pianists of the period, Peterson was a lover of good 

melodies, and also enjoyed playing them with subtle embellishment. On his 1957 album Oscar Peterson Plays My Fair Lady (added here in its 

complete form as a bonus LP), which is surely more jazzy than Soft Sands, the pianist pays great attention 

to playing melodies straigh. Another point of interest on this rare Peterson album is the opportunity to hear 

him sing. The pianist had a very beautiful voice creating a romantic ambiance that contrasted with his more 

characteristic swinging piano style. [Item Code: 63644 CD: $15.00]

the Five Spot in New York during 1958. Half of this music was issued on two albums: In Action and Misterioso. 

This edition contains all known music from that gig plus a rare bonus track also featuring Griffin. As a

The complete original LPs The Nearness of You and You’ve Got a Date with the Blues, presenting Merrill in 

splendid form backed by swinging combos. Featuring Bill Evans, Kenny Dorham, Bobby Jaspar, Oscar Pettiford, 

Milt Hinton & Jo Jones. Includes 16-page booklet. Although she was well-known among fellow musicians, 

Helen Merrill wasn’t a star like Sarah Vaughan or Ella Fitzgerald at the time these two albums were 

made. Her recording debut consisted of a few songs made with the Earl Hines sextet in December 1952, 

followed by a couple of tunes with Jimmy Raney in 1953. She would also record four tracks with an orchestra 

conducted by Johnny Richards in February 1954 prior to her participation on the justly celebrated sessions 

with Clifford Brown (December 22 & 24, 1954), which would mark her first LP. In fact, Merrill would never 

become as “commercial” as Sarah, Ella, or even Dinah Washington, and she only gained greater fame after 

she started touring Europe shortly after the two albums compiled here were made. [Item Code: 63646 CD: $15.00]

Dan Levinson collected material and wrote arrangements. He has brought together an all-star lineup 

of talent to produce a tour de force that combines driving rhythm, lush harmony, and timeless melodies. 

Although most of Dan’s previous CDs have focused on ragtime and early jazz, At the Codfish Ball is decidedly 

swing, a prominent aspect of his musical persona virtually unexplored in his own recordings.

Tunnel Vision • North South • Black Rattle • A Time Of Reckoning (Personnel: Randy Hamm, Steve Owen, 

John Adler, Matt Ingman, Brian Mulholland, more) [2008] Composer and arranger Dan Cavanagh pulls 

together a creative ensemble of musicians from around the country for his new release, “Pulse.” Cavanagh’s 

writing & arranging covers wide expanses through this big band concept album, often interspersed by the 

readings and poetry of Tim Young. With shades of Jim McNeely, and hints of Bob Florence, Cavanagh’s writing 

is engaging from the very beginning as he captures the spirit of the music with a patience and maturity 

that fits neatly in the continuum of modern large ensemble composers, from Gil Evans through Maria Schneider.

[2007] For his third OA2 release, New York trumpeter Liam Sillery broadens his recorded musical palette as 

he explores the “outskirts” of mainstream jazz. While retaining his strong melodic & harmonic sense, Sillery’s 

expanded phrasing and the band’s collective improvisations unfold into an organic sea of deeply musical 

exploration. Alto saxophonist Matt Blostein blends nicely with Sillery on Black Bag, as each horn player 

challenges the other’s creative wit throughout. Most definitely a departure from his previous recordings, 

“Outskirts” offers a further look into Sillery’s artistic prowess. [Item Code: 63434 CD: $15.00]

from his earlier years in New York City, rediscovering their deep musical chemistry as they explore a set of 

originals and newly arranged standards. Bassist David Ambrosio’s background as a composer informs his approach 

to the bass while Matt Garrity’s drumming is both crisp and fluid. Together they churn along with an 

East Coast intensity while Giberson completes the musical triangle with an expansive yet introspective West 

coast sense of sound and space. [Item Code: 63214 CD: $15.00]

selections in this set - selections from the champagne era of popular music - have most certainly stood the 

test of the passing years. The items here are of 1938 vintage, but the emphasis is placed on the sweeter side 

of the band’s performances and the spotlight falls more often on the band’s vocalists, Denny Dennis, Mary 

Lee and Sid Buckman than on the band itself. If you love dance band music from another, more glamorous 

era, then this trip down memory is the one for you. [Item Code: 63215 CD: $14.00]

section of the AAF Band and the postwar orchestra, the exeption is Adios which Jerry Gray arranged for the civilian Glenn Miller Band, however 

after the disastrous US recording ban of 1948 and the onset of the decline of the Big Bands Tex had to lose his String section which at one point 

numbered ten violins, one viola and a cello. consequently these ‘live’ recordings have a sound more reminis cent of the original Glenn Miller civilian 

orchestra and should be greatly enjoyed by lovers of Swing and Big Band Music everywhere. [Item Code: 63216 CD: $14.00]

Bagley, Ralph Blaze, Shelly Manne, Jay Johnson) [1951] These 1951 live recordings show the Stan Kenton Orchestra at its finest, with an incredible 

lineup of talent, apart from the Jay Johnson vocals, the rest of the CD is a powerful tour de force of some of Stan’s greatest hits. We make no

of Louis’ greatness- his non-pareil skill as a jazz trumpeter. Instead of a slavish imitation this is a series of 

reinterpretations in which the listener is aware of Armstrong but at the same time it is apparent that the skills 

of Jim Cullums’ musicians are adding magic layers of individualism. This CD was made several years ago

with this album (it may help, given the dazzling cover art by Joe Busam). Now to the music: it is simply 

overwhelmingly hot- another great achievment by leader/arranger Jean-Pierre Morel, who is quite familiar 

to Stomp Off collectors for his earlier groups, i.e. Charquet & Co. and Le Petit Jazzband. It would be hard 

to exagerate just how good this new CD is. This ten-piece band really cooks an especially appearling batch 

of tunes from the 1920s (plus two original compositions by Jean-Pierre). When Jean-Pierre Morel conceived 

this group five years ago, he envisioned a 1920s hot dance band with focus to be primarily on dance music, 

but as he enlisted musicians, many of whom had played in his earlier groups, they were so steeped in the 

styles of classic Jazz that what emerged was a band that, while adhering to the wonderful melodies, is hotter than anticipated. An extra bonus is 

the colorful and insightful album notes by cornetist/clarinetist/drummer Chris Tyle. [Item Code: 63515 CD: $16.00]

Go Home • Im Gonna Go Fishin (Personnel: Conte Candoli, Zoot Sims, Bob Brookmeyer, Mel Lewis, Bob 

Donovan, Buddy Clark, more) [1960] This twelfth volume in the highly-acclaimed Swiss Radio Days Jazz 

Series features a tight, enthusiastic and superb big band performed by renowned New York and L.A. studio 

musicians under the leadership of Jazz legend, Gerry Mulligan and represents the state-of-the-art in Jazz at 

the beginning of the 1960s. Mulligan was one of the most prolific and innovative baritone saxophonists 

in this field. He has left us with a legacy of innumerable compositions, first-class arrangements for different 

orchestras and many interesting albums under his own guidance and name. This band was one of the most 

interesting bands around, and they were nothing short of first-class. [Item Code: 27708 CD: $13.00]

Talk • Mountain Greenery • I Have Dreamed • The Lady Is A Tramp • She Was Too Good To Me • You’ve 

Got To Be Carefully Taught (Personnel: Larry Fuller, Martin Pizzarelli, Tony Tedesco, more) John Pizzarelli 

salutes composer Richard Rodgers with this songbook including a dozen of his works. The vocalist/guitarist 

is accompanied by his trio, with Larry Fuller replacing Ray Kennedy, bassist Martin Pizzarelli, and drummer 

Tony Tedesco. Pizzarelli adds a personal touch to “I Like to Recognize the Tune” by altering Lorenz Hart’s 

lyrics a bit, while also scatting up a storm in unison with his guitar. Bucky Pizzarelli is an added guest and soloist 

for “It’s Easy to Remember,” an intimate duet with the vocalist playing rhythm. Cesar Camargo Mariano 

takes over at the piano for the breezy bossa nova setting of “Happy Talk.” Arranger Don Sebesky wrote the 

charts for the six tracks and a quartet of brass and reeds, highlighted by the snappy scoring of “The Lady Is 

a Tramp,” recalling Pizzarelli’s previous Telarc salute to Frank Sinatra (Dear Mr. Sinatra, in which he trades 

fours scatting with each of the horns). [Item Code: 63202 CD: $19.00]

Carlos Jobim and Luiz Bonfa was just as important to its success- a luscious soundtrack that helped introduce 

those gentlemen and the sound of Bossa Nova to the world. The great-sounded music is accompanied by a 

four-color, 16-page booklet with an essay detailing the rich history of the film and the music, as well as rare 

stills from the original film. [Item Code: 63279 CD: $16.00]

Bob Bushnell, Angel Allende, Jerome richardson, Bob Porcelli, more) [1969] Latin-tinged session, a Top 20 

Jazz chart LP, now back in print. An early George Benson groover from the A&M years of CTI -- a set that’s 

quite different than his famous 70s sets, with a really unique sound overall! The arrangements here are by 

Latin Soul maestro Marty Sheller -- who brings some of the vibe to the set that he brought to his 60s work with Mongo Santamaria -- not a straight 

Latin sound overall, but one that comes through strongly in some of the percussion and horns! Players are all pretty hip -- and keyboards are from 

Richard Tee on most of the best tracks -- and drums are from Idris Muhammad throughout, working here under his original name of Leo Morris. 

Main solos are from Benson on guitar -- although the record also features alto solos from Sonny Fortune and 

Bobby Porcelli -- who’d both stepped out a bit with Santamaria too. [Item Code: 63275 CD: $13.00] 

80812 GROVER WASHINGTON JR. SOUL BOX Aubrey • Masterpiece • Trouble Man • You Are The 

Sunshine Of My Life • Don’t Explain • Easy Living - Ain’t Nobody’s Business If I Do • Taurian Matador (Personnel: 

Bob James, Richard Tee, Ron Carter, Max Ellen, more) [1973] A modern classic now on one CD 

for the first time, arranged by Bob James, faturing “You Are The Sunshine Of My Life”. One of the richest 

albums from the Kudu years of Grover Washington -- a double-length set that shows the full range of his soul 

and imagination! The album was done in collaboration with Bob James -- who arranged and conducted all 

tracks, and also plays keyboards on the date -- and the style is kind of an added extension of other Washington 

work on Kudu, with added string and chorus bits to round out the sound! Things are still wonderfully 

soulful -- thanks to James’ sense of space and timing on the charts -- and if anything, the added voices and 

orchestrations bring an almost soundtrack-like quality to the record -- but one that still leaves plenty of room 

for Washington’s solos on tenor, alto, and soprano sax! Most tracks are quite long -- really stretching out with 

lots of room for fresh ideas -- and titles include a 15 minute version of “Trouble Man”. Both volumes together 

-- for the price of a single CD! [Item Code: 63278 CD: $13.00]

To You • Wishing On A Star (Personnel: Greg Smith, Bashiri Johnson, Wendell Brooks, Laythan Armor, 

Danny Madden, Charles Ferring, Jimmy Varner, more) Downing’s second album, featuring fan favorite, 

“Wishing On A Star”. Will Downing sounds wonderful here on this late 80s set -- standing out instantly 

from most of his contemporaries, with a deep-toned, classic vocal approach that’s simply tremendous! Even 

though some of the backings smack of 80s mainstream production, there’s a depth here that goes beyond 

common commercial soul -- a hipper, more mature approach that made Downing one to watch at the time 

-- and a surprising respite from the obvious, even when smooth and mellow. Titles include “Too Soon”, “The 

Love We Share”, “Come Together As One”, “I’ll Wait”, “Rules Of Love”, “Test Of Time”, “Closer To You”, and 

“Sometimes I Cry”. [Item Code: 63277 CD: $13.00]

• Don’t Say Goodbye • You Are The One • Muriel’s Lament • In Time • Have You Seen My Girl • Mancy 

(Personnel: Freddie Fox, Thor Baldurrson, Lionel Job, Audrey Wheeler, Ira Siegel, more) Walter’s second album, 

a Quiet Storm radio favorite, now back in print. Smooth jazzy soul from the end of the 80s -- a groovy mix of styles that has Walter Beasley on 

reeds, keys, and vocals! There’s a bit more going on here than just straight smooth jazz, as Walter always seems to bring a little something extra to 

the set -- and if anything, the record’s more of an extension of 80s quiet storm soul than it is the commercial 

side of the jazz spectrum, especially given some of the more beat-heavy tracks. Walter sings on nearly every 

track -- and also plays alto, flute, and keyboards -- although the latter are also played by Thor Baldursson 

on most of the record. Titles include “Muriel’s Lament”, “Just Kickin It”, “I Would Never Go”, “You Are The 

One”, “Don’t Say Goodbye”, “Get Loose”, and “Mancy”. [Item Code: 63276 CD: $13.00]

a rare television appearance with the Curtis Amy sextet featuring Bolton, as well as studio takes from an unissued 

Pacific Jazz session. Bolton next shows up in Oklahoma as part of a prison band illustrating that he had 

not lost any of his flash despite the long years in prison. Dupree Bolton will always remain a true Fireball. [Item Code: 62749 CD: $16.00]

off her exquisite vocal style, stamping each song with her own unique personality. Eartha’s big break came 

in 1952 when Leonard Stillman cast her in his Broadway show ‘New Faces of 1952’. Accompanied by Henri 

Rene and his Orchestra, Eartha gives spellbinding renditions of numbers by Cole Porter (Let’s Do It, My Heart 

Belongs to Daddy), George & Ira Gershwin (Looking for a Boy) and Jerome Kern & Otto Harbach (Smoke

here he provides further evidence of just why his band was one of the best in the land. He applies his exacting 

approach to classics such as Juan Tizol’s Caravan and a beautiful arrangement of De Falla’s Fire Dance. [Item Code: 63450 CD: $10.00]

best-known orchestra leaders of the 1940s and ‘50s shows that he was more than capable of getting in a 

funk groove, ‘70s-style. Both volumes of Favourite TV Themes were recorded for Decca, and for each album 

Martin assembled a studio orchestra built around a very tight and very funky rhythm section. This release 

features an exciting bonus in that it contains three previously unissued Ray Martin recordings from the ‘70s 

– namely the themes for Anglia TV game show Sale of the Century, BBC TV’s long-running film review series 

Film ‘74 (or whichever year it’s shown in) and cult sci-fi series Star Trek. [Item Code: 63444 CD: $16.00]

on this release, highlighting some of the evergreen melodies from the movies. Both albums were originally 

recorded for the US market, and both feature the good taste and impeccable musicianship that were the 

hallmarks of Stapleton’s years at Decca. Here he runs his band through superb renditions of classic tunes 

including The Harry Lime Theme, Unchained Melody, Three Coins in the Fountain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo, The High 

and the Mighty and many others in what adds up to over an hour of pure, unadulterated listening pleasure.

destined to make. From two decades later, Mantovani Favourites is a fascinating curio. Compiled by Decca 

in-house producer Tony D’Amato at time when Mantovani had retired from the music business, it features 

recordings that were either not released or did not achieve album status, plus several tunes that had not been 

issued in either Britain or America when the album was envisaged. [Item Code: 63440 CD: $16.00]

here are rarities such as Desafinado and One Note Samba (Edmundo’s first ventures into the then-new bossa 

nova rhythm) and Monte Carlo cha cha (included in recognition of the fact that for nine summer seasons 

Edmundo appeared there with his orchestra). Monte Carlo was also where Edmundo presented a copy of The Carnation Girl to Tina Onassis, wife

trademark sweeping string sound is heard to glorious effect in this mouth-watering compilation. Decca used 

the 1966 album Mantovani Magic to spearhead their sales campaign for that year; it was also the company’s 

way of honouring Mantovani, who had brought so much success and kudos to the label. If you’ve never 

heard a Mantovani album, then this is the one to start with because it is typical of his elegant orchestral 

style and features a choice collection of truly romantic melodies. Classic numbers such as Misty, Cara Mia, 

Stardust, Lover and Most Beautiful Girl in the World, among others, all sound gorgeous under Mantovani’s 

direction. Concert Encores was recorded at the end of 1957, just in time for the stereo revolution the following 

year, and sees Mantovani turning to the world of light classics for inspiration. [Item Code: 63521

to mention hard working, musical aggregations of the 1960s and ‘70s. During the ‘60s much of the Johnny 

Howard band’s work involved performing on the UK’s Mecca ballroom circuit, and from this they secured 

a regular broadcasting slot on BBC Radio’s ‘Easy Beat’ series. The albums compiled on this release come 

from Johnny’s Decca discography, a company he had begun recording for in the early ‘60s. 1970’s The 

World of Johnny Howard showcases brilliant big band arrangements – by Steve Gray, Pete Smith and Len 

Hunter – of songs that had been chart successes during the previous decade. In contrast is the 1969 album 

Moonlight Serenades, which displays the delicate sounds of the Johnny Howard Orchestra. Romantic fare 

such as Les Reed’s and Barry Mason’s The Last Waltz, André Popp’s Love is Blue, Johnny Mercer’s Dream and 

Tony Hatch’s Joanna, among many others, are heard in beguiling arrangements courtesy of Alan Moorhouse 

and Steve Gray – all impeccably executed by Johnny Howard and his musicians. [Item Code: 63446 CD:

was in fact born in London. The two albums compiled on this release demonstrate why he was so admired, and in particular showcase his beautiful 

writing for strings. As the title might suggest, Autumn Leaves features a selection of tunes inspired by that 

atmospheric time of year. The second album in this compilation features Rose leading his orchestra through 

characteristically lush, thoughtful arrangements of music from the stage show and film ‘Gigi’, a product of 

the Alan Jay Lerner-Frederick Loewe partnership. [Item Code: 63442 CD: $15.00]

of the leading lights on New York’s jazz scene. Later in his career he became equally renowned for his skill 

as an arranger-composer, a talent he put to good use writing for the now-legendary big band he ran with 

drummer Mel Lewis in the 1960s and ‘70s. This release concentrates on the early part of Thad’s career, and 

both Mad Thad and Olio deliver thrilling, hard-swinging modern jazz. Mad Thad features arrangements 

and compositions by Thad as well as luminaries Quincy Jones and Leonard Feather; the line-up is just as 

illustrious, the band including jazz stars such as Jimmy Jones (piano), Jo and Elvin Jones (drums) and Frank 

Foster (tenor sax) as well as Thad’s own superb contributions on trumpet. Olio also features a great line-up 

including Thad Jones (trumpet), Mal Waldron (piano), Elvin Jones (drums), Frank Wess (tenor sax/flute), Teddy Charles (vibes) and Doug Watkins 

(bass). [Item Code: 63447 CD: $15.00]

the musical accompaniment for the Eddie Cantor show ‘Kid Boots’. That was in 1923; by the following year 

he had secured a recording contract, and the music featured in this collection was recorded by his band 

during the 1927-34 period. This release features twenty-four tracks recorded in the inimitable Olsen manner. 

The vocalists are Ethel Shutta (who at one time was married to Olsen), Fran Frey, Bob Borger and Bob Rice.

was once dubbed ‘The String Quartet of Dance Bands’ by Jerome Kern, and the sweet sounds purveyed by 

Reisman and his musicians is much in evidence on this release. Born in Boston in 1897, Reisman initially 

studied the violin, and his first professional job was as first violinist with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. 

He began his recording career in 1921, but the recordings heard here span the years 1926-41 and feature a 

variety of vocalists including Lew Conrad (Reisman’s long-serving violinist), Frank Luther, Frances Maddux and Felix Knight. [Item Code: 63456

The Midnight Minstrels, Laughing Comedian With Orchestra) [1925-1931] The prolific and versatile Stan 

Greening studied cello, piano and composition at London’s Royal Academy of Music. He started his career 

as a cellist, and in 1919 played under Adrian Boult for a season of the Diaghilev Ballet at the Empire Theatre, 

Leicester Square. However, in 1923 he turned his attention to the world of popular music, taking up 

the banjo. In that year he also became a bandleader and ‘session fixer’ – someone who books musicians 

for recording sessions. This release covers Stan’s recording activities from 1926-1931 and features various 

bands he led under various titles – the Raymond Dance Band, The Rhythmic Troubadours, The Society Serenaders and The Midnight Minstrels. The 

pleasant, melodic sounds of these bands are heard in twenty-five superb tracks, the tunes including It’s an Old Spanish Custom, I’ll Keep You in My 

Heart (Adios Muchachos), Would You Like to Take a Walk? and A Little Balcony in Spain. The disc concludes 

with Charles Penrose singing the eternally popular The Laughing Policeman, for which Stan Greening’s band 

provided the backing. Other vocalists featured include Fred Douglas, Dan Donovan, Joe Sargent, Tom Barrat 

and Robert Carr. [Item Code: 63452 CD: $13.00]

the music on this Vocalion release. As the leader of his Six Swingers, Scott Wood was one of Britain’s early 

jazz and swing pioneers; in fact, he was the first bandleader to record, broadcast and televise swing music 

in Britain. Indeed, in 1938 Scott Wood’s orchestra was voted top of all radio entertainment in the Daily Mail 

‘Radio Popularity Poll’. Throughout his career he also worked with many famous musicians from outside the 

dance band world, writing arrangements for Gracie Fields, Richard Tauber, Campoli, Ivor Novello, Sir Harry 

Lauder and a host of other British, American and Continental stars too numerous to mention. [Item Code:

achieve the great success he aspired to. Recording was made in October/November of 1960 by Rex Productions.

hits in The Boy Friend and My Fair Lady, the programme of songs chosen was something of a departure for 

the star. And what a success it turned out to be. With imaginative and lush orchestral arrangements from 

Irwin Kostal, the result is stunning. Now digitally remastered, the album is available at last on CD. In addition,

life of the BBC, the Corporation’s senior management operated a system of unofficial censorship, whereby 

before records could be played on the air, they had to be approved for broadcast by the Dance Music Policy 

Committee (or other similar incarnations over the years), and their decision endorsed by the Head of Light 

Entertainment. Records were banned from broadcast for a variety of reasons – risque innuendo, religious 

references, mention of commercial brands, over-sentimentality, bad taste, and (a particular obsession of 

the BBC’s Director of Music in the 1940s, Sir Arthur Bliss) the fact that a tune was borrowed from classical 

works. As a result, a large number of records, of widely disparate style and content, found themselves with 

“Not to be broadcast” stickers on them. Among the bizarre decisions was the restricting the playing of Bing 

Crosby’s “Deep In The Heart Of Texas” during working hours on the basis that the infectious rhythm would 

encourage workers to bang their tools on machinery in time with the music. This collection brings together 

75 recordings which fell foul of the BBC’s red pencil up to the year 1957. A booklet by Spencer Leigh makes 

this a real collector’s item, providing summaries of the reasons of the decisions, sometimes quoting from the 

relevant internal BBC memos. [Item Code: 63505 3-CD: $20.00]

was working as a hairdresser when he successfully auditioned for the Fred Carlone Band in the 30s. He went on to join the Ted Weems Orchestra, 

working on the popular radio show Beat The Band. When the Weems outfit broke up in 1942, he hosted the CBS radio show called Supper Club 

from which these recordings are taken. I This great-value 3-CD set comprises performances from the CBS radio show “Supper Club” which Perry 

Como hosted through 1943, and which led to his recording contract with RCA. An added attraction is that he is accompanied throughout by the 

Raymond Scott Orchestra – Scott also enjoys a significant following, because of his extraordinary subsequent career as a pioneer of stereophonic 

and electronic music. This is clearly a must for Como fans, and also one for lovers of radio nostalgia. [Item Code: 63558 3-CD: $20.00]

is Django experimenting with Bebop, trying out the electric guitar (very bluesy). By a miracle (and inspired avoidance of confrontation) Django 

survived the Nazi occupation of France. With the Liberation he had a couple of new challenges: Swing and Bebop. Myth has it that Django was 

engulfed by Swing and bewildered by Bop. Not so. As these newly remastered sides reveal, Django approached the new movements with virtuoso 

enthusiasm- while never losing his ability to entertain. [Item Code: 63654 5-CD: $30.00]

Shank, Art Pepper was a West Coast alto saxophonist deeply under the spell of Charlie Parker when everyone 

around him was more influenced by the cool school of Lester Young and Miles Davis. It is precisely the confluence of those two musical approaches 

that enabled Pepper (and Shank) to develop a warm, vibrant sound and a unique style rooted in Bird and graced with Pres’s thoughtful lyricism. As 

these 1956-57 Aladdin recordings attest, there can be little doubt that during the mid-to-late 1950s Art Pepper was at one of the several performing 

peaks that characterized his career in jazz. They represent some of this alto saxophonist’s best and most gripping work. For each of these exceptional 

sessions, we have returned to the original master tapes and remastered them in 24-bit with greatly improved results from all previous issues.

Paul Weston to choose, arrange and record their material. Until he advent of Rock ‘n Roll his touch was unerring- the talen he supported reads 

like a roll call of the great. He was married to Jo Stafford, and this collection features some of their hilarious “Jonathan & Darlene” tracks- wicked 

lampoons of various popular styles, which were received with glee by musicians at the time. [Item Code: 63509 4-CD: $30.00]

many 78 RPM records. Beyond a handful of boleros, Monroig sings fiery Mambos and Cha-Cha-Cha’s. [Item Code: 63589 2-CD: $20.00]
