| | Brian Setzer Ultimate Collection CD Brian Setzer Discography of CDs
Though this double-disc set does contain versions of many of the Brian Setzer Orchestra's best-loved songs, THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION is not, as the title might suggest, a greatest-hits compilation. Rather, the package represents two Setzer concerts--one from the early 1990s in Montreal, Canada and the other in Tokyo, Japan in 2000. As the former leader of rockabilly revivalists the Stray Cats himself notes, the earlier show is rawer and a bit more rocking, while the later concert benefits from the band's increased experience and musical sophistication.
As promised, just about all of Setzer's best recorded moments are reprised here, from the Orchestra's biggest hit, Louis Prima's "Jump Jive an' Wail," and the Grammy-winning, guitar-driven take on Duke Ellington's classic "Caravan" to raucous big-band versions of the Stray Cats' signature songs, "Rock This Town" and "Stray Cat Strut." The remainder of the discs are filled out with a mix of genre-defining rock & roll standards ("Mystery Train," "Honky Tonk") and exciting, thoroughly re-imagined crowd pleasers, including "The James Bond Theme" and "Rumble in Brighton," during which the city in question is replaced with "Montreal" to the crowd's rapturous approval.

THE DIRTY BOOGIE was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Pop Album "Jump Jive An' Wail" won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. "Sleepwalk" won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.
In his continuing evolution from pompadoured rockabilly revivalist to zoot-suited hipster, Brian Setzer keeps the faith with THE DIRTY BOOGIE, a collection that swings from stem to bow. Backed by hot horns and a bopping rhythm section, Setzer mixes well-arranged originals with well-known covers that show an aficionado's appreciation of jump blues, swing and doo-wop.

Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color. Before he had attained the age of 20 he was gigging with black jazz bands throughout the Southwest, and eventually organized an ensemble deliberately patterned after Count Basie's orchestra. This highly charged album of historical musical artifacts documents the very beginning of Johnny ...

During the filming of tour rehearsals that followed the release of Eric Clapton's acclaimed ME AND MR. JOHNSON, bassist Nathan East jokingly noted that many of the band's performances were "better than on the album." Clapton's longtime low-ender may have been right, as the resultant SESSIONS FOR ROBERT J provides the best of both worlds--the freshness of live interaction and the sound quality of a studio album.
The differences between the two discs are ...
