{"id":10641356815,"title":"Song of the Blues (1923-1932)","handle":"1146","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the years following World War I, Isham Jones established himself as one of the true innovators in dance band music, influential in developing the instrumentation and aural character of American dance bands up to the Second World War. In the 1920s and early '30s, Isham Jones's Orchestra was famous for its impeccable musicianship and creative arrangements that, while interesting and ambitious, were always danceable and seldom theatrical for their own sake. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis CD collects over two dozen of Jones's finest recordings spanning the years 1923-1932, many of them previously unavailable on compact disc and all in fresh new transfers. Jones also enjoyed considerable popularity as a composer, and this CD features eight of Jones's compositions. The CD includes a handsome 12-page full-color booklet with liner notes by Rich Conaty, late host of \u003cem\u003eThe Big Broadcast\u003c\/em\u003e on WFUV-FM in New York City. A discography is also included with full recording information for each of the selections. 77 minutes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs James T. Maher observed, \"Do not consider this music typical nostalgia...Isham Jones and his orchestra were never typical because they were the best.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRivermont

the years following World War I, Isham Jones established himself as one of the true innovators in dance band music, influential in developing the instrumentation and aural character of American dance bands up to the Second World War. In the 1920s and early '30s, Isham Jones's Orchestra was famous for its impeccable musicianship and creative arrangements that, while interesting and ambitious, were always danceable and seldom theatrical for their own sake. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis CD collects over two dozen of Jones's finest recordings spanning the years 1923-1932, many of them previously unavailable on compact disc and all in fresh new transfers. Jones also enjoyed considerable popularity as a composer, and this CD features eight of Jones's compositions. The CD includes a handsome 12-page full-color booklet with liner notes by Rich Conaty, late host of \u003cem\u003eThe Big Broadcast\u003c\/em\u003e on WFUV-FM in New York City. A discography is also included with full recording information for each of the selections. 77 minutes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs James T. Maher observed, \"Do not consider this music typical nostalgia...Isham Jones and his orchestra were never typical because they were the best.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRivermont

Isham Jones and His Orchestra

Song of the Blues (1923-1932)

$15.95
Maximum quantity available reached.

In the years following World War I, Isham Jones established himself as one of the true innovators in dance band music, influential in developing the instrumentation and aural character of American dance bands up to the Second World War. In the 1920s and early '30s, Isham Jones's Orchestra was famous for its impeccable musicianship and creative arrangements that, while interesting and ambitious, were always danceable and seldom theatrical for their own sake.

This CD collects over two dozen of Jones's finest recordings spanning the years 1923-1932, many of them previously unavailable on compact disc and all in fresh new transfers. Jones also enjoyed considerable popularity as a composer, and this CD features eight of Jones's compositions. The CD includes a handsome 12-page full-color booklet with liner notes by Rich Conaty, late host of The Big Broadcast on WFUV-FM in New York City. A discography is also included with full recording information for each of the selections. 77 minutes.

As James T. Maher observed, "Do not consider this music typical nostalgia...Isham Jones and his orchestra were never typical because they were the best."

MORE THAN JUST A BANDLEADER

This follows Rivermont's practice of meticulous remastering and presentation, with an excellent illustrated liner note by Rich Conaty. It spans the period from late 1923 to mid-1932, and fills in a number of gaps left by previous reissues; there is only one duplicate (Riverboat Shuffle) with the Timeless CD issued in 2000. Isham Jones was more than just a bandleader, he also played tenor sax and was an excellent composer. Added to that, he'd been recording since mid-1920 and it's apparent that he knew how to score for his band and position his players in the studio in order to get the best result. The first two tracks have a novelty element about them, with Frank Quartell's muted trumpet fulfilling the onomatopoeic title of the first, and Louis Panico producing growl effects combined with a rising slur in the second. The recording of "Riverboat Shuffle" was clearly influenced by the Wolverines seminal version, including Bix's famous solo. The two most dynamic sides are "Susie's Feller" and "Meadowlark" when the supposition is that Jones fronted a Reser group for recording purposes. I could go on at length, because every track has something of interest, but why not just buy it and have the fun of finding that out for yourself?
