Es war soweit ich weiss mal eine Mosaic-Box mit den Felsted-Aufnahmen geplant, die leider nie zustande kam. Jetzt hat Solar ein 5CD-Set zusammengestellt, das die folgenden Alben enthält:
Rex Stewart – Rendezvous with Rex
Dicky Wells – Bones for the King
Dicky Wells – Trombone Four-in-Hand
Earl Hines/Cozy Cole – Earl’s Backroom / Cozy’s Caravan
Buster Bailey – All About Memphis
Budd Johnson – Blues à la Mode
Buddy Tate – Swinging Like Tate
Coleman Hawkins – The High and Mighty Hawk
Billy Strayhorn – Cue for SaxophoneSieht toll aus, fraglich ist wie immer bei solchen Labels die Qualität, aber die Neugierde meinerseits wird wohl über die Bedenken siegen…
Mehr Infos zum Label hier:
http://www.jazzdiscography.com/Labels/felsted.htmDie spannendste Veröffentlichung des Labels – und nicht in der obigen Box – ist vielleicht das alternative Album mit der Musik von „The Connection“ (unter Howard McGhees Namen, später unter Redds bei Boplicity). Die anderen Namen der 7500er Serie sind mir – von Jimmy Eckstine abgesehen – allesamt völlig unvertraut.
Jetzt gibt’s mehr Infos auf der Fresh Sound Seite:

24 Bit Digitally RemasteredStanley Dance, the noted jazz critic, writer and producer came to the United States in 1958 to organize the sessions in this set for an affiliate of London Records (Felsted). He had been sponsored in this project by Sir Edward Lewis, the head of British Decca.
The result were nine legendary albums recorded in 1958 and 1959, and designed primarily for the European market under the generic name “Mainstream Jazz” —a description Dance is credited with coining.
This set brings together the complete Felsted recordings on 9 CDs, each of them a replica of the original LPs. It constitutes a wonderful jazz panorama of the mainstream style, with sessions led by outstanding jazzmen who had fine-turned their craft,and with a 44-page booklet attractively illustrated with photographs by Mike Youngman, all made even more enjoyable by Mr. Dance’s comprehensive notes.
