 (1 Customer Review)
Lest anyone be confused, Paul Desmond did not go back to Oberlin College or the College of the Pacific to re-create his classic outings with the Dave Brubeck Quartet. This is that band from 1953 with both Joe Dodge and Lloyd Davis on drums -- Dodge was at Oberlin. These recordings have been issued stateside on CD on the Fantasy/OJC label, but this Definitive Records edition attempts to use these two concerts and four performances from the Blackhawk in the same year to document the live progress of the band as it took standards and reinvented them in its own experimental manner, utilizing Brubeck's radical ideas of harmony and rhythm learned from composers Darius Milhaud and Igor Stravinsky. However, even the Blackhawk recordings have been issued in their entirety by Fantasy, so there is nothing new here under the sun except a handy and misleading package. The sound is lovely and warm, and the performances are historic for their influence in bringing jazz to college campuses in the 1950s. It is recommended to get the OJC reissues because of their superior liner notes and original artwork -- and the bonus cuts on the Blackhawk date. ~ Thom Jurek

Complete Oberlin And College Of The Pacific Concert

Stomping At The Savoy consists of 99 tracks over 4 CDs of digitally remastered music with a 48 page booklet in a new slimline format. Chick Webb and his orchestra was the vehicle that took Ella Fitzgerald from talent show obscurity to international stardom. Proper. 2006.
Released in 1996, Proper Box 97 contains 99 sides recorded under the leadership of master drummer Chick Webb beginning with the session of March 30, 1931 and ending with a recording made live at the Southland Cafe in Boston on May 4, 1939, a little over a month before he succumbed to spinal tuberculosis at the tender age of 30 (his last words being: "I'm sorry -- I gotta go!"). While this is an excellent, mostly thorough and chronologically presented history of Webb's brief reign as one of the nation's top swing band leaders, it fails to include two wonderful titles from 1929 ("Dog Bottom" and "Jungle Mama") that act as a tidy prelude to the rest of his works and have managed to make it onto other worthwhile Webb retrospectives. Why the folks at Proper omitted these precious early examples is a mystery. It's not for lack of room -- and if they needed a couple of minutes they could easily have jettisoned one or two of the Ella Fitzgerald novelties: "Chew, Chew, Chew Your Bubble Gum," for instance, does not exactly constitute an essential Chick Webb recording. Apparently the presence of alto saxophonist and future rhythm & blues archetype Louis Jordan on those 1929 sides wasn't reason enough to include them here. Aside from this unfortunate and irresponsible lapse in discographical vigilance, Proper has successfully marshaled together most of Webb's best work as leader of his big band and of a quintet billed as "Chick Webb and his Little Chicks." During this eight year period, Webb's ensembles fairly boiled over with talented, and in some cases now overlooked, artists. The trumpet section positively ...
