Customer Reviews:

A Talent Ahead Of His Time! Harry Connick Jr........2004-04-10

I recently discovered this CD and I have been listening to it non-stop for over three weeks now. The overwhelming talent and musical vision of this jazz icon never ceases to amaze me. Who would have ever imagined back in 1993 when this album was released that 11 years later we would be experiencing the greatest resurgence of interest in songs from the Great American Songbook ever. Almost single handedly he has managed to create a new fresh awareness to these musical jewels, and even now in 2004 he continues to reacquaint the world to these classics. His original interpretations of these timeless tunes brings them back to life, and proves once more that these perfectly crafted songs will last forever.

If you LOVE listening to GREAT CROONERS and BIG BAND SWING, I would also recommend, MONTE PROCOPIO "SWINGIN' WITH STYLE" CD. He is also a Great Crooner that can really SWING and deserves a listen. Buy both these CDs, you can't go wrong!

Never bought an import.......2000-12-16

Can you list the titles on this cd? Where was it recorded? Why is it an import?

A big HC fan

"The Best of" Harry Connick Jr........2000-04-20

This CD is perfect for those who want the classic Big Band Harry. It combines the more popular tracks from "We are in Love" and "When Harry Met Sally", along with a track each from "Lofty's Roach Souffle" and "The Godfather Part III".

Smooth vocals, the magic of Big Band and excellent songs come together to make this CD the ideal way to fall in love with Harry's music!

Best of that guy from "Independence Day" (not Will Smith).......1998-07-18

Ok, Connick fans, listen up. I bought the cassette while in Mexico and have waited for its US release so I could get the CD, but that still hasn't happened. Thank goodness for imports! You know how good the "When Harry met Sally" soundtrack is? This one's way better. I'm not a die-hard fan, but this CD really holds my attention all the way through and even gets me singing along. This CD gives you stuff from Harry's whole career: different sounds, different attitudes, all of the highest quality. So even if you are just a borderline fan of Harry Connick or of this genre of music, I'd highly recommend this CD. (If you already have all of the Connick CD's then I'd pass on this since there's no new stuff on it.) By the way, I liked this record so much, I bought the company.

Album Description

Budget-priced box featuring 40(!) digitally remastered CDs that serve up 727 of the best jazz recordings from the late '20s to the '50s, giving listeners an abundance of material from the top practitioners of the classic jazz styles Swing, Big Band and Be-Bop. Most of the discs contain only recordings by one artist, but with some of the stars --like Charlie Parker, Ben Webster, Django Reinhardt, Lester Young and Coleman Hawkins for instance-- you get a double dose! For anyone interested in curious about the formative years of jazz, or for anyone looking to build a quality jazz library without spending a fortune, this collection is a must have. Housed in a sealed, full color 5' x 6' x 8' box, it contains 20 double slimline jewel cases. Artist Listing: Roy Eldridge (2 CDs)

Customer Reviews:

A Good Mix of Jazz at a Reasonable Price.......2003-05-16

The History label has put out several box sets of 40 jazz CDs. I have three and plan to buy more.

Compared to the other two History label box sets I have, The Cradle of Jazz and The Big Band Box, the recordings in From Swing to Bebop are more recent than the other two, and so the sound quality is also markedly improved, although by no means flawless by today's standards.

As in the other two, this box set gives a good overview of the leading musicians of the time with two CDs by each of Charlie Parker, Django Reinhardt, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Ben Webster, and three CDs of music by Fats Navarro. Notably absent is bebop legend Dizzy Gillespie, although Gillespie can be heard on a few of the tracks featuring other musicians.

This collection is heavier on swing than it is with bebop, and purists would probably find fault with some of the selections and ommissions. However, given the price, I think any jazz fan can easily supplement gaps left behind in From Swing to Bebop and still save a bundle of cash as compared to trying to buy the music by all of these artists individually.

Customer Reviews:

Cheap Introduction to Early Jazz.......2003-04-02

This box set has a good mix of well known and influential jazz music from the 20s, 30s, and 40s, and with 40 CDs each about an hour long, it took me quite a long time just to listen to all of them enough times to start to recognize the songs.

However, after having listened to all of the CDs about a dozen times over the last few years, I feel that I have cultivated a broad knowledge of jazz standards. Now, when I go to a jazz club or even just listen to the radio, I can frequently name songs that my friends mistakenly assume are originals.

The drawback of this collection is that many of the recordings, and the ones from the 20s, in particular, are inevitably of poor quality. In fact, it often sounds like the drummer was banging on a pie tin or the vocalist sang underwater. Nevertheless, more than two-thirds of the recordings are of acceptable sound quality, and I urge any one looking to expand his knowledge of early jazz for a pittance to buy this collection.

I am giving this collection 5 stars despite the sometimes poor sound quality because it is such a bargain and provides a good, if not entirely comprehensive education in early jazz.

Great Buy!.......2001-04-09

Nearly 40 hours of digitally remastered original 78s and 45s for less than $1 each. No, you aren't getting the 1000 greatest hits of the 30s & 40s, but this is a great collection, but at 10% of the price, you get a lot of standards.

Also see the similarly priced "Big Band Box" and "Great Vocalists of Jazz and Entertainment" collections by the German "History" label.
