'DE-LUXE 5-CD BOX SET INCLUDING 9 ORIGINALS LPs
℗ & © 2011. Made in the UE.

'Between January of 1958 and April of 1959, famed English jazz writer Stanley Dance produced nine glorious LPs of traditional jazz for the Felsted label. Among the performers were many superb jazzmen who had been forgotten for decades or had rarely recorded as leaders. This 5-CD box set puts together, for the first time ever, all of the Felsted swing albums in their complete form, half of which had never previously appeared on CD, while many others have been long unavailable and truly hard to find. The leaders on the nine albums are clarinettist Buster Bailey, trombonist Dicky Wells (two LPs), tenor saxophonists Coleman Hawkins, Buddy Tate and Budd Johnson, pianists Earl Hines and Billy Strayhorn, and drummer Cozy Cole. Also featured are: Buck Clayton, Charlie Shavers (tp), Johnny Hodges (as), Vic Dickenson (tb), Willie “The Lion” Smith, Hank Jones, Dick Cary (p), Kenny Burrell (g), Ray Brown (b), Jo Jones (d), among many others.'

Includes a 32-page booklet with detailed information, Stanley Dance’s complete LP liner notes for all nine albums, and many rare photos and memorabilia.

Original recordings produced by STANLEY DANCE.

“Initially a jazz critic, Stanley Dance has done a great deal through the years to help swing and mainstream jazz musicians. In fact ‘mainstream’ was his term which he came up with in the 1950s to describe music played by musicians who were stylistically between dixieland and bebop. Dance has occasionally produced recording sessions through the years (most notably for Felsted in the 1950s) and has in his own way influenced jazz history.”
