VA - The Complete Brusnwick & Vocalion Recordings Of Louis Prima & Wingy Manone (1924-1937) [2002] (6 x CDs)

VA - The Complete Brusnwick & Vocalion Recordings Of Louis Prima & Wingy Manone (1924-1937) is a box set of six CDs that contains the complete recordings of two jazz musicians, Louis Prima and Wingy Manone, who were both born in New Orleans and played the trumpet and sang in a distinctive style. The box set was released in 2002 by Mosaic Records, a label that specializes in reissuing jazz recordings. The box set covers the period from 1924 to 1937, when Prima and Manone recorded for the Brunswick and Vocalion labels, which were subsidiaries of Warner Bros. Records. The box set includes 157 tracks, some of which are alternate takes or previously unreleased. The box set also comes with a booklet that contains biographical information, discographical details, and essays by jazz historians Dan Morgenstern and Loren Schoenberg.

The box set showcases the evolution of Prima and Manone’s musical styles, from their early influences of New Orleans jazz, blues, and ragtime, to their later incorporation of swing, big band, and pop elements. The box set also features some of their most famous songs, such as “Sing It 'Way Down Low”, “The Lady in Red”, “Basin Street Blues”, and “Dinah”. Some of the tracks also feature other notable jazz musicians, such as clarinetist Pee Wee Russell, saxophonist Bud Freeman, trombonist Jack Teagarden, and pianist Fats Waller.

The box set is a valuable collection for jazz fans and historians, as it preserves the legacy of two influential and charismatic performers who contributed to the development of American popular music. The box set is also a testament to the diversity and creativity of jazz music in the 1920s and 1930s. (B)
