Just got this notice from Venerable Music:
Big Bill Broonzy: Amsterdam Live Concerts 1953 This one looks good... dave stott
sorry for dragging up an oldie, but I just picked up this 3CD compilation and I am loving each tune...
Most were recorded in Paris in either September 1951 or Feb/Mar 1952.. So you get a chance to hear Big Bill do a lot of the earlier tunes in a different style... All of the tracks reportedly were copied direct from the Vogue masters.. CD3 contains a number of "alternate takes, which are interesting. It's a Great Set !!! Dave could i also recommend, big bills. 2 cd set, amsterdam unissued live concerts 1953. recorded by , louis van gasteren. it comes in "long box form" and within is a glossy 48 page insert, chock full of photographs. some of big bill pushing a pram. with his dutch son michael. who he had to, his dutch lover pim. and going back to the music the sound is absolutely superb. if you are a fan of big bill and you dont own this one,you really are missing out.

BIG BILL BROONZY - The Complete Vogue Recordings
Vogue 664351-2 This compilation has to racnk right up there with the Folkways, Trouble in Mind.. The compilation is 80% Big Bill solo..... so it really does give you an opportunity to compare his earlier solo versions to these. This has been in constant play mode in my car and MP3 player for 2 weeks now.... Dave I don't know if I missed something, but there is no mention of the JSP box sets, I have the first 2 volumes and I love them, any thoughts about these??

My personal preference is for the JSP re-issues over the Document sets..
At least to my ears, the JSP issues sound clearer with less noise.... But then again, can Big Bill Broonzy ever sound bad? Dave Yes! I have a bunch of cheap exploitation label BBB CDs that have very few redeeming moments sound-wise, and the playing is often way below Bill's high standard. However I can generally find something interesting in there.
Here is some "insider" information from Guido van Rijn reported in December last year: ...was this ever released? http://www.amazon.com/Amsterdam-Live-Concerts-1953-Broonzy/dp/B000FVRRAA
A terrific collection with great sound and superb photos. http://www.amazon.com/Amsterdam-Live-Concerts-1953-Broonzy/dp/B000FVRRAA thanks - ordered it |
