Free Music Notes for Begin the BeguineFree Music Review: Good Sound - A Ton of Great Music! Hit: 5 Stars
This collection - which I own and have also given as a gift - surveys an enormous span of time, starting with some of Shaw's earliest band work and proceeding to showcase scores of recordings made with his many different groups over the next two decades. At the price it represents the best possible introduction to one of America's greatest popular musicians. By the end of the thirties Artie Shaw had come to symbolize America and American culture in the same was as Clark Gable or Mickey Mouse, and these musical selections show why.
Attempting to break down over 200 numbers with any sort of critical appraisal of their worth misses the point. A listener can rest assured there's a ton of gold here - with this many great recordings everyone can choose their own - many - favorites.
Of note - there are a number of recordings here of the underrated vocalist Peggy LaCentra - look for them on the earlier discs, especially the snappy "It Ain't Right" and the dreamy ballad, "There' Something In the Air." Her recordings are now difficult to find - so this must be counted a considerable bonus.
A later disc in this set has many of the Gramercy Five Sessions - landmark recordings similar in style to Goodman's small group recordings.
A can't miss purchase.
