SUNDAY JAZZ

BIX BEIDERBECKE, FRANK TRUMBAUER & JACK TEAGARDEN

VA - The Complete OKeh & Brunswick Bix Beiderbecke, Frank Trumbauer & Jack Teagarden Sessions (1924-36) [2001] (7 x CDs)

This Limited-Edition Mosaic set gathers some of the most important early jazz recordings ever made, tracing a line through the OKeh and Brunswick catalogues at a time when American popular music was shifting from dance‑band formality into something more fluid, expressive, and modern. Bringing together Bix Beiderbecke, Frank Trumbauer, and Jack Teagarden under one archival roof makes perfect sense: each of them helped define the language of jazz in the years between the mid‑twenties and the Depression, and their sessions for these labels remain touchstones for musicians and collectors alike.

Bix’s sides still feel startlingly fresh. His cornet tone, cool, bell‑like, and emotionally direct, cuts through the surface noise with a clarity that explains why he became a legend so quickly. Whether he’s leading or slipping into an ensemble role, there’s a sense of melodic inevitability in his playing, a way of shaping lines that feels both relaxed and precise. The OKeh and Brunswick masters capture him at his peak, surrounded by musicians who understood how to give him space.

Frank Trumbauer’s contributions are equally vital. His C‑melody saxophone, often overlooked today, was a defining sound of the era: smooth, lyrical, and quietly innovative. His partnership with Bix produced some of the most elegant small‑group jazz of the period, and these sessions show how naturally their voices intertwined.

Jack Teagarden brings a different colour entirely. His trombone work — warm, vocal, and effortlessly swinging, bridges the gap between early jazz and the more relaxed phrasing that would dominate the thirties. His vocals add another layer of charm, grounding the set in the personality‑driven style that was emerging at the time.

These recordings form a vivid portrait of jazz in transition. The set captures the artistry, experimentation, and sheer musicality that shaped the genre’s early evolution, preserving it with the respect it deserves. (B)

Dedicated to Minnesota, Jive Talkin' to Jail Lockin' is a direct response to the anti-ICE noise—a deep dive into the reality of the Minnesota fraud scandals and the fact that "illegal" is a legal status, not a debate. It moves from the slick jive of the daycare scammers to the heavy reality of the front line, ending with the voices of people who are tired of watching the rules get stepped on. Just another point of view. Thank goodness we can have debate in a free country.

The eighth chapter of our acclaimed series once again soars into the golden age of epic rock. Vol. 8 brings together nothing but rock songs from the 1970s - pushes the 10-minute mark - or far surpasses it. This is music without limits: extended intros, hypnotic grooves, monumental guitar solos, and soaring finales that leave a lasting impression.

This collection celebrates the bold spirit of a decade when bands didn’t confine their songs—they let them grow. Progressive soundscapes, thunderous hard rock riffs, and psychedelic journeys merge into an immersive listening experience that rewards patience and ignites passion.

Lean back, turn it up, and dive into a time when rock was epic—and ten minutes was only the beginning.

VA - Disco Discharge, Disco Exotica [2012] (2 x CDs)

 

DISCO

VA - Disco Discharge, Disco Exotica [2012] (2 x CDs)

Disco Exotica is one of the most distinctive entries in the Disco Discharge series, a run of compilations curated with an archivist’s ear and a DJ’s instinct for mood. Released in 2012 by Harmless Records, this volume leans into the stranger, more theatrical corners of late‑70s and early‑80s disco, the tracks that blurred the line between dancefloor fantasy, camp excess, and widescreen studio imagination. It’s a set built on atmosphere as much as rhythm, and that’s what gives it its charm.

The selections move confidently through a world where disco producers were pushing beyond the club and into something more cinematic. You hear tropical motifs, pseudo‑Eastern flourishes, lush strings, and the kind of playful storytelling that defined the genre’s more adventurous side. These weren’t chart‑chasing singles; they were studio creations designed to transport dancers somewhere else entirely. The sequencing captures that sense of escape, shifting from sultry slow‑burners to full‑bodied orchestral climaxes without losing the thread.

What stands out is how well the rarities sit alongside the cult favourites. Harmless had access to deep catalogues, and the curators used that freedom to highlight tracks that rarely surface outside specialist circles. The mastering is clean and respectful, keeping the warmth of the original 12‑inch mixes while giving them enough clarity to breathe in a modern context.

As a listening experience, Disco Exotica celebrates the theatrical heart of disco, the part of the genre that embraced fantasy, colour, and a touch of the surreal. It’s a reminder that disco wasn’t only about the beat; it was about world‑building, mood, and the joy of stepping into a different reality for a few minutes at a time. This set captures that spirit beautifully. (B)
