RCA VICTOR

VA - RCA-Victor 80th Anniversary Collectors Edition [1997] (9 x CD's)

To celebrate the first 80 years of jazz recording, RCA Victor released this series of CD's in 1997. These CD's are superb if you have interests the evolution of, arrangement of music, big bands, and the recording of music. In the early recordings from 1917, you can sense the recording engineers trying to eke out the best from their equipment, up to the 50's, 60's, and onwards where they could record the instruments to sound as though they were in the same room as you. The album has some good jazz classics, and big historical names as far as jazz is concerned. While you enjoy the good big band music, listen...listen and pick out your favourite musical instrument as it is being played, or your favourite artiste as he/she plays. Great Jazz. Excellent.
