CD Reviews

Bad sound
Blues Bro | Lakewood, Colorado USA | 09/22/2004
(1 out of 5 stars)

"This spanish label has some very good releases and others are just plain awful. This one says is 24 bit remaster, but dont let that fool you, the sound is not good. The latest Columbia box is a lot better, even though is not complete."
The Complete Col;umbia Basie, 1936-41
Doug Norwood | High Point NC USA | 03/25/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"There simply are not superlatives to apply to the music on this set. This is the Basie "Old Testament" band at its best with soloists such as Buck Clayton, "Sweets" Edison, Buddy Tate and most of all, Lester Young backed up by the finest rhythm section in the history of jazz.



Definitive is one of several European labels rendering a valuable service by reissuing material such as this which the bean counters of the major labels shy away from.
