Bennie Green - Mosaic Select 03 [2003] (3 x CDs)

SUNDAY JAZZ 

BENNIE GREEN

Bennie Green - Mosaic Select 03 [2003] (3 x CDs)

There’s a warmth running through this set that settles in almost immediately. Across these recordings, Bennie Green keeps the trombone moving with an easy, vocal-like phrasing that rarely feels forced, even in the faster arrangements. Issued in 2003 by Mosaic Records, the collection gathers his Prestige and Blue Note material into a sequence that flows more naturally than a straight historical survey.

The sessions balance structure and looseness well. Small-group arrangements give the horns room to move, while piano and rhythm sections keep everything grounded without becoming rigid. Green’s playing sits directly in the middle of that balance. His tone remains broad and relaxed, but there is precision underneath it, especially in the way phrases resolve.

As the discs continue, the differences between sessions become clearer. Some tracks lean toward bluesier territory, others move closer to hard bop, but the transition between them never feels abrupt. The same sense of pacing carries through the set, allowing the recordings to connect despite changes in personnel and setting.

What gives the collection its shape is consistency of mood rather than stylistic range. Even the livelier pieces retain a conversational quality, as if the music is unfolding collectively rather than driving toward display.  The set feels steady and unhurried. The details emerge gradually, one chorus after another, until the full character of the playing begins to settle into place, melodic, grounded, and quietly confident throughout. (B)

VA - It's Saturday Night! Starday, Dixie Rockabilly 1955-1961 [2012] (3 x CDs)

Rockabilly

VA - It's Saturday Night! Starday, Dixie Rockabilly 1955-1961 [2012] (3 x CDs)

Issued in 2012 by Fantastic Voyage, this 3‑CD set dives deep into the Starday and Dixie vaults to capture the raw, regional pulse of southern rockabilly between 1955 and 1961. What makes it compelling is its refusal to polish or modernize the sound. These are recordings from small studios and dancehalls where country, hillbilly boogie, and early rock ’n’ roll still overlapped naturally.

The atmosphere hits immediately, slapped bass, clipped electric guitar, train‑beat drums, and echo‑soaked vocals that feel closer to honky‑tonk than to the smoother pop of later years. Many of the singers sound like country performers adapting to a new rhythm rather than chasing fame, which gives the set its charm.

Familiar names such as Sonny Fisher, Sleepy LaBeef, and Rudy Grayzell sit beside lesser‑known regional artists, yet the sequencing keeps everything fluid. One track leans toward western swing, the next toward straight rock ’n’ roll, but the transitions feel organic. The repetition of rhythms and guitar breaks becomes part of the experience, each variation revealing how musicians were shaping the earliest language of rock ’n’ roll from inside country music itself.

It’s Saturday Night! feels less like a jukebox from the late 1950s South—loud, direct, and still tied to the dancehall world that birthed it. (B)

VA - Summer Wine (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)

POP

VA - Summer Wine (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)

There are some songs that seem to define an entire emotional landscape. Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine" is one of them. Mysterious, seductive, and faintly melancholic, it occupies a place where romance and memory meet. This four-disc collection grows outward from that centre, gathering recordings that share its sense of elegance, longing, and cinematic beauty.

Subtitled A Collection of Dreams, Desire and Distant Days, the set explores a rich meeting point between American and European pop during the 1960s and early 1970s. Sunshine pop, orchestral pop, chanson, folk-pop, soundtrack music, and soft psychedelia sit comfortably alongside one another, linked less by genre than by mood and emotional character. Whether drawn from Los Angeles, London, Paris, Rome, or Nashville, these recordings share a refined melodic sensibility and an ability to suggest entire worlds within a few minutes.

The first disc establishes the collection's foundations. Nancy Sinatra, Claudine Longet, Dusty Springfield, Françoise Hardy, Mina, Michel Legrand, and Brigitte Bardot create a sequence filled with youthful romance, sophistication, and wide-screen atmosphere. Familiar classics sit naturally beside lesser-known gems, each contributing to a feeling of warmth and possibility.

The second disc leans further into continental influences. French pop, chanson, film music, and carefully crafted orchestral arrangements bring a more intimate and reflective character. Artists such as Serge Gainsbourg, Jane Birkin, Juliette Gréco, and Ennio Morricone deepen the collection's cinematic qualities while maintaining its emotional restraint.

By the third disc, the emphasis shifts toward songwriting of exceptional depth. Bobbie Gentry, Scott Walker, Glen Campbell, Love, The Zombies, and The Beach Boys deliver recordings where melody, lyric, and atmosphere achieve a remarkable balance. Some of the era's most enduring songs appear here, carrying themes of memory, distance, and quiet reflection.

The final disc gradually moves toward twilight. The mood becomes more contemplative, with Nancy Sinatra, Marianne Faithfull, Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan, Kevin Ayers, and others exploring themes of departure, change, and remembrance. The closing sequence, culminating in "Arkansas Coal (Suite)" and "Some Velvet Morning", returns to the world that inspired the collection while revealing new shades within it.

Summer Wine is not simply a gathering of favourite songs but a carefully shaped journey through some of the most evocative corners of popular music. Its strength lies in the way familiar classics, overlooked treasures, European pop sophistication, and American songcraft coexist within a single emotional landscape. The result is a collection that rewards repeated listening, revealing new connections and subtle moods with each return. (B)
