Great descriptions, thanks! I'll check out the ones I don't have and maybe they go on the short list.

11:30 it's not mass produced. They cut each disc one at a time.

Thanks so much for reviewing this set, and particularly for including the CD version. I am CD only since emigrating from UK to Australia and the vinyl would have been expensive to ship. I had a vinyl comp years ago of King Cole Trio radio recordings from the 40s and it was great. It even included some of the radio announcers introductions and links, which i enjoyed for the feeling of actually hearing it on the radio, so I am hopeful that some of these recordings will be the same. Resonance does a great job in giving life to recordings that would otherwise be lost to ordinary listeners, and honouring the artists and their estate, and if some of them are not audiophile quality then I don't care, its about the music

This is a awesome boxset, great video Chris

I have this set - it is great - thanks for highlighting it! IMO Resonance puts out great sets with great sound and packaging and booklets

Been a big Nat Cole fan - thx for the heads up - ordered.

This set also includes the trio’s great Decca r&b flavored singles that were influenced by Louis Jordan such as Hit That Jive Jack and Call The Police. These are considered some of the early precursors of rock n roll.

You really should have mentioned Will Friedwald's authoritative notes. One of America's leading historians of pop and jazz music, Will wrote 'Straighten Up and Fly Right,' the definitive biography and critical analysis of Nat King Cole (Oxford University Press, 2020).

WOW! That is fascinating! Funny, I was pretty much introduce to Nat King Cole exactly as you described with the Time-Life albums that I actually bought! In addition to being a fan of his daughter Natalie Cole. Around 1991 I bought the 5 set LaserLight Digital collection of his trio recordings.

I’m in the UK and I’d love this box. But. They want $93 for shipping to Europe. I guess it’s a heavy item but that’s a bit too expensive even for 10 records. They need to get themselves a European distributor!

Bought it immediately as I was watching your video. Thank you so much!!! I have wanted this for awhile and very much appreciate the low cost opportunity.

Tried to buy it 93 for shipping to the U.K. 😹

Resonance records is kinda hit and miss with sound quality in my experience from my mostly record store day purchases. Their prices seem to be going up as well.

Great review, very useful.

I first saw Sabbagh a few months ago in a press invited listening session for Stenheim speakers.

Big props for the Mike Nock plug ! Need to look out for that one !

I didn't know what a high hat was. Thank you

ENJOY

Great review! I would recommend Jerome’s other album, Vintage, great recording. I’ll buy this once the temperature in AZ drops so it won’t arrive warped. By the way, Sabbagh, has the accent on the B, an Arabic name, means a dyer / colorist associated with/ textil, a common last name in Syria, where I grew up. It’s really wonderful that we have this label w/ Kevin’s, especially with the focus on fresh jazz music by such talented artists!

The entire HiRes album is on Qobuz as well. Giving it a listen right now. Thanks for your hard work. I find great value in your content.

Anyone know when this is available for high rez download?

This channel used to actually have some interesting jazz content. Old jazz records, your old pressings, original content. Seems its now just another audiophile porn channel. I guess it gets you a lot more clicks. Sad to see.

You can't talk about piano-less trios without talking about Jimmy Giuffre

James Farber is an absolute legend

Gave my copy a spin last night. Good stuff! Dan

My preordered copy is currently on its way to me. I own a few of Sabbagh’s albums and am very much looking forward to listening to where Jerome and crew will take me this time around. The fact that this album is the first on the Analog Tone Factory label makes it all the more special. I very much look forward to hearing more from Jerome and the ATF label both.

I find the cover confusing. Is it a stumbling kid?

Mine is stuck in customs...argh, love Jerome Sabbagh and find his Analog Tone Factory a fanstatic idea, hope it pays out and we get more fantastic AAA releases. This review makes the waiting even harder...should have waited before I watched it...does customs appreciate a personal visit?

Thank you for the review!

Bring us that Al Foster interview! You can do it!

I have this Dodo Green album on Blue Note CD Connoisseur series by Ron McMaster and it sounds great!😊

Well-done & I 100% agree that old magazines can be a great source of useful-& surprising-information (& history & opinion). One addition to the magazines you mention that I’d suggest as a rich, fun source is WHITNEY BALLIETT, who wrote about jazz for The New Yorker during its best years (from the 1950s to 2001). When it comes to music writers, most of them prioritize being knowledgeable about music over being a good writer. For some readers, though, the quality of the writing is as important as the subject & that’s where BALLIETT fits in. BALLIETT’s also one of those rare people who usually doesn’t just make judgments but almost always explains why he likes or dislikes a thing. Not that he was just a critic-BALLIETT also profiled many jazz giants & these pieces in particular are marvels-they are so focused on the speaker and the speaker’s words that they read like (fascinating, irreplaceable) oral histories rather than profiles. In contrast to BALLIETT, I’d contest that the hefty AllMusic Book of Jazz, while chock-full of info, is so blandly written & so full of cliches & repetitions that it’s hard-for me at leas-to trust the sensibilities of the reviewers. Too much of the writing in that dull but useful book sound as if it were phoned-in. Sorry, but I prefer passion & skill. (Many of BALLIETT’s books, by the way, can be found in used bookstores or eBay for cheap.) P.S. I don't always agree with BALLIETT's views, but they always engage me.

Cool stuff! Are you familiar with Harvey Pekar (American Splendor)? As a young man he wrote reviews for Downbeat in the 60’s and 70’s. 😊

Enjoy your RUclips post. I have every single issue of Down Beat from December 1969 thru current day in complete mint condition. Down Beat back then would let you select 3 LPs from a list when you renewed your subscription! If I recall correctly, those were mainly promo LPs. I also have many DB-Metronome, Jazz Journals from '40', '50's, '60's earlier dates that generally feature drummers. Thanks for all your shows!

great video as always Chris a great collection of down beats you have

Love that Maynard outside Birdland 1959 Cover!

It’s cool, but there is an online archive

Thanks very much for sharing these - I had a fun experience a few months ago when I found a Downbeat annual from 1967 or so at a library sale and in paging through it I found several Fender ads illustrated by my uncle who was a West Coast illustrator at that time. He must have had the Fender account because he also did their catalog covers in the 60s. So I’d be interested if you see any Fender ads as youre reading these. Cheers

I have Down Beats from the 50's, bound Jazz & Pop, Jazz Journal, Coda also John Coltrane programme (with Eric Dolphy) signed by Tubby Hayes, also Jazz Monthly who I used to write for. Best. Roy Wilbraha

Love those.

Wcb! very useful . :)

110!

A Bossa Nova album will never be one of the best in the history of Jazz. Simple.

Enjoyed this video and it's a really nice record, love it.

Great review 👌

Awesome information. Thank you !!!

That's such a great record. Excellent presentation. It's also available on a 2-CD set of John Wright's music. He played on Arbee Stidham's TIRED OF WANDERING.

I had listened to Jazz music since 1976 and had never heard of or read anything about John Wright. Then one Sunday afternoon in 2019 this album popped up on my RUclips feed and I instantly fell in love with it. I ordered a CD boxed set that had his Prestige albums that was available and all of them were great. I really don't know how such a great talent like his got lost in the shuffle but I'm glad he's being rediscovered now. Great video. You've got another sub.

As I’m streaming a lot of the various jazz reissues (and learning a lot!) this album sticks out. It has a lovely bluesy piano trio sound, and bears repeated listens, as also said by our host. It doesn’t quite fit into just calling it a jazz album, I would probably place it in the “blues” section if I had to pick. Loved your thoughts and thanks for the suggestion here!

Actually there was an early 90's OJC LP mastered by Gary Hobish (OJC 1743). I have it.
