Elvis - MEMPHIS (5 X CDs)

ELVIS PRESLEY

Elvis - MEMPHIS [2024] (5 X CDs)

Elvis/Memphis. It just doesn't get better than this for the serious Elvis fan. However, any serious '50s, '60s, '70s pop culture/rock & pop music fan will find plenty to love in this five CD boxset. Beautifully packaged and annotated, as well as given the maximum quality remix/remaster treatment (excepting Disc One's legendary Sun masters), each CD represents a specific Memphis event. The 1969 American sessions. The 1973 Stax recordings. The 1974 Memphis Homecoming Concert. The 1976 Graceland sessions. The Big Deal is that the recordings have been stripped of the Felton Jarvis "sweetening," which Elvis not only approved of but insisted Jarvis added to the originally released tracks. That said, would Elvis have approved the release of these naked studio tracks? Probably not. Do I and will most hardcore fans approve? I would have to say a resounding "absolutely yes!" The legendary post-tv comeback special American recordings have never felt more alive. The Stax sessions leap from the speakers like never before, blending rock, pop, r&b, and country elements like no one else ever did or could. And the 18 Graceland recordings have a heretofore unheard clarity of purpose -- I'm in real pain here! -- that will open your eyes and break your heart. Even its three rhythm numbers (For the Heart, Moody Blue, Way Down) have a melancholy undercurrent. As for the Homecoming Concert, to my ears it's Elvis' loosest, least Vegas in-concert recording. For my money, it's his best '70s live recording. I thought I knew everything there was to know about Elvis' Memphis career. Wrong! There's a whole lot of new musical info contained within the five discs that make up Elvis/Memphis. Five brightly shining stars in the Southern sky and very highly recommended. (Amazon)

This 5-CD collection of Elvis’ songs over the years features 111 tracks, 88 of which are newly mixed versions of the select recordings, pure and without overdubs."

VA - VERVE, The Sound of America, The Singles Collection [2013] (5x CDs)

SUNDAY JAZZ

VERVE

VA - VERVE, The Sound of America, The Singles Collection [2013] (5x CDs)

Conventional wisdom has it that jazz is a style of music best suited for long-playing formats, and that it was never meant for the singles charts. Of course, that isn't really the case -- plenty of great jazz records were recorded long before the invention of the LP (even if 78s made it difficult to document long improvisational jams), and jazz was a genuinely popular form before rock and other styles usurped it on the charts in the '60s and '70s. Even into the 1970s, stations geared for listeners with little interest in rock would regularly blend accessible jazz into the mix, before fusion alienated one part of jazz's mainstream audience in order to engage another. Jazz's relationship with the mainstream is the unspoken theme of The Sound of America, The Singles Collection, a five-disc box set that collects 100 tracks Verve Records issued as singles between 1947 and 1972 (one track from Diana Krall brings the set into the 21st century) as label head Norman Granz aimed for all kinds of listeners and not simply jazz snobs. While several of the early tracks on this set fall into the category of dance tunes and novelty items (the latter best represented by Slim Gaillard's "Opera in Vout"), there's plenty of "real" jazz on this set, with Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Ben Webster, and Dizzy Gillespie all represented on disc one. As the set goes on, vocalists and stylish interpretations of old standards become a dominant force, performances that were expressive but still had one foot in the hit parade, and Ella Fitzgerald's many sides here demonstrate how formally innovative a performer could be and still please a crowd (her scatting on 1961's "How High the Moon" is a dazzling show of imagination and technique). By the mid-'60s, things start to slip a bit, as Fitzgerald gets talked into recording something called "The Ringo Beat" and show tunes and covers of pop hits replace standards and originals, but there's still plenty that allows soloists to shine (particularly Jimmy Smith's mighty organ workouts and Willie Bobo's sinewy Latin grooves), and "The Girl from Ipanema" by Stan Getz, João Gilberto, and Astrud Gilberto is a sterling example of jazz that could fit gracefully in with pop formats. Much of what's on The Sound of America: The Singles Collection is bold and brassy, but if most of this ignores the more experimental waters of bebop and beyond, nearly everything captures gifted and soulful artists working at the top of their craft, and it's hard to imagine how music as strong and approachable as this fell out of favor and was shunted into "specialty" programming. This is a fine set for jazz devotees, and a trimmed-down edition could be a convincer for folks who believe jazz is too esoteric for them; either way, it's a fascinating and entertaining look at an often-forgotten aspect of a great record label.

I'd recommend VLC software to play it with, but with anything that can play m4b audio books you should be fine.

Happy Holidays to all, and thanks to the other contributors and to Butterboy!
