My O My!!.......2006-06-16

What a wonderful side. This CD is good from top to bottom. No clunkers here. What a talent. I can't believe she slipped by for so many years. Consider the time wasted listening to the Stones, Beatles, Zep, etc. Forgive me father and thank you for k starr.

I bought five Kay Starr CDs..........2005-11-15

...and this is (by far) my favorite. It's a collection of singles from early in Starr's career, mostly recorded when she was 23 and 24 years old. Her vocal style was different then, very bluesy, very Memphis, and she is helped by a few excellent mid-1940s swing bands. The results sound like a lost (and very magical) Billie Holiday album, an upbeat one at that. Great song choices, many standards. This album is a real discovery.

Discover the jazz singer KAY STARR..........2000-05-19

These red hot jazz sides by Kay Starr were recorded in the 30's & 40's before she became a pop star, here she is a true jazz singer singing jazz and swing standards backed by some great small groups... This is pre WHEEL A FORTUNE Kay Starr, swingin', improvising, and having fun with the likes of Barney Bigard, Wingy Manone, Bob Crosby and many other hot musicians. Highly recommended. GREAT SOUND QUALITY

Responsible and sensitive restoration of Starr's jazz side.......1999-12-07

I was drawn to look up Kay Starr when reading Gary Giddin's A STARR IS REBORN in READING JAZZ (ed. R. Gottlieb) Pantheon Books,NY,1996 which I recommend as one of the great compilations of jazz writing bar none. I vaguely recalled her from the 50's with hits such as "Wheel of Fortune". Of course, that was music which was very unhip to a teenager exploring the whole gamut of great American jazz from Wingy Manone to Dizzy Gillespie. But at Mr Giddin's recommendation I took the plunge and my investigations dug up this gem of a CD. There is some truth in the dictum that one can often judge an artist by the company she keeps. Some of Ms Starr's company on this CD includes Barney Bigard (18 tracks) Bob Crosby, Irving Fazola, Wingy Manone, Charlie Barnet, Barney Kessel(7 tracks)all of them respective masters. Highlights on the CD, and there are many, include a vocal duet with Wingy Manone on "If I could BeWith You"; "I Can't Get Started" which I swear rivals that of Bunny Berigan;"All of Me", which has backing by Barney Bigard and Vic Dickenson on trombone(mute); and "Where of When", where Ms Starr reveals her sensitive poignant side backed by the beautiful chalumeau sound of Mr Bigard's clarinet. Ms Starr brings to life with great interpretations some of the best of the American Songbook backed by some of the best jazz musicians in the business at the time. Geat value for money CD.

Freedom Fighter.......2005-06-27

What can be said by Bunk that hasn't already been said? A controversial figure of the south, who's technical playing was often pushed to the forefront over his pure love for music. Though this disc contains some rareties, I only suggest it for the true completist. I strongly recommend getting "...and his superior jazz band" before this if you do not already own it. "Panama" is the true mark of Bunk and his legacy.

Good, but not the greatest Bunk.......2001-04-01

These are important recordings - after a series of releases on obscure enthusiasts labels, these 1945 recordings were the first (and only) time that major record companies (RCA and Decca) showed an interest in Bunk Johnson. They were widely distributed and therefore highly influential in the New Orleans revival.

Bunk is in strong form throughout, playing a consistently firm lead and demonstrating his great talent for melodic variation. Jim Robinson is also in superb form.

However, these recordings are inferior to the 1944-45 American Music sides for three reasons. First, the unneccessary inclusion of a pianist, who clogs up a superb rhyths section. Second, the deliberate muffling of Baby Dodds drums, rendering him almost totally inaudible on the RCA sides. Third, the fact that George Lewis had just undergone major dental work before the RCA sides and was in nothing like top form.

The 1944-45 American Music sides are inconsistent and need to be approached with care. However, their sound quality has been greatly improved on their CD release, and the finest of them are amongst the best New Orleans ensemble recordings of the entire New Orleans revival.

The recordings on this CD are important, but they do not do full justice to the Bunk Johnson, Jim Robinson, George Lewis, Laurence Marrero, Slow Drag Pavageau, Baby Dodds band. For that, the American Music sides are the ones to get.

Fun dixieland set by Bunk & The Gang..........2000-09-28

This excellent CD has all of Bunk Johnson's recordings for Decca & Victor plus a couple of V-Discs and eight alternate takes, three were previously unissued. Bunk is heard in prime form throughout, and his band featuing clarinetist George Lewis, trombonist Jim Robinson, pianist Alton Purnell, banjo player Lawrence Marrero, bass player Alcide "Slow Drag" Pavageau and drummer man Baby Dodds is for the most part in tune and a hard swingin' group. Johnson and Lewis never sounded so wonderful together, and not like some of the earlier American Music performances, the sound quality here is quite excellent despite a faulty piano. For the two V-Discs (versions of "I Can't Escape From You" and "Snag It" that exceed five minutes), Bunk's band (with Red Jones on drums) is heard live from the Stuyvesant Casino. Some of the highlights of the high-quality New Orleans Dixieland set, which was put out by Document in 1996 (much of the music had formerly been on an Arhoolie LP), are hot & spirited versions of "Maryland, My Maryland," an uptempo "A Closer Walk With Thee," "When the Saints Go Marching In" and "Darktown Strutters Ball." Recomended.

sidney and stella.......2005-09-11

This cd is notable for the appearance on the final six tracks of vocalist Stella Brooks. Brooks was from the West Coast, became popular as a jazz singer in New York's Greenwich Village in the 1930s and 1940s, and then returned to San Francisco and ultimately lived a humble quiet life until she died recently at 90 years of age. She was known to be the spunky sidekick of Billie Holliday, and also befriended Woody Guthrie and Marlon Brando. Smithsonian Folkways also has these six tracks on a cd of vocalists of the 1940s, actually a split cd with Greta Wright, an Austrian diva of the day. Stella's trademark song was "I'm A Little Piece of Leather" ('...very well put together...') although this song seems to be credited variously to her or other composers. (It appears on a Peattie Wheatstraw cd which makes me want to guess that it's an old blues and predates them both...the Beatles covered about 45 seconds of it in some early unreleased BBC tapes...)

Stella Brooks seems too interesting to disappear completely into history. (She's also on some re-released Stuff Smith sessions...)

This is a good Bechet disc, again featuring some longer tracks of over 4 mins. duration. Worth having.

Boyd's junk.......2002-04-15

First of all I'm generally up for new Big Band sounds...and everything I've ever read about Boyd Raeburn always had things like "forward thinking" and " advanced playing" so I feel I was somewhat aware of what I would be hearing, but holy cow!!! This is bad,really really bad! It's to the point where you can't even sit and listen to it..it's impossible! There's 22 tracks in all, and "Memphis in June" is about the only thing that saves this disc. The other tracks have nothing musical to speak of. My guess would be the only reason Ginnie Powell even sang with this outfit was becasue she was married to the leader. I'm sorry to say I enjoyed Johnny Bothwell CD, because he was the big star of this organization but the two never meet..I mean in the sense of the styles, Johnny played a lot like Hodges and was a little more relaxed and not so over the top like Raeburns' group. God lov'em for trying to be different, but at least make music!!
