Artie Shaw - Classic Artie Shaw Bluebird And Victor Sessions [2009] (7 x CDs)
Mosaic's "Classic Artie Shaw Bluebird and Victor Sessions", limited edition of 5,000 sets, is a comprehensive 7-CD set that contains some of the finest recordings by the legendary jazz clarinetist Artie Shaw. The collection covers his work from 1938 to 1949 and features his most popular and enduring hits, as well as many lesser-known gems. The remastered sound quality is outstanding, and the accompanying booklet includes detailed liner notes, rare photographs, and insightful commentary on the music and the times in which it was created.
The first three discs focus on Shaw's work with his big band and showcase his superb arrangements and virtuosic soloing. The standout tracks include "Begin The Beguine," "Stardust," "Concerto for Clarinet," and "Frenesi." The fourth disc features recordings with smaller ensembles, including Shaw's Gramercy Five, and highlights his improvisational skills and unique phrasing. Notable tracks include "Summit Ridge Drive," "Cross Your Heart," and "Special Delivery Stomp." The final three discs are devoted to previously unreleased alternate takes, radio broadcasts, and live recordings, offering a fascinating glimpse into Shaw's creative process and his evolution as a musician.
This collection of 165 tracks is a must-have for fans of Artie Shaw and classic big band jazz. Mosaic has once again done an excellent job of compiling and presenting the music in a comprehensive and thoughtful way. (B)
