"Calvados" stammers impatiently
bukhtan | Chicago, Illinois, USA | 07/20/2006
(1 out of 5 stars)

""Definitive Records" own "Calvados" (who may since have absconded to China, now home of the bigboy bootleggers) burned this set over from John RT Davies' work for JSP and Frog (in the latter case under Johnny Dodds' name), not willing to wait for "Columbia" (Sony) to get off its duff and remaster the music they own. Odd pricing, though. JSP is still cheaper, with better sound quality! I would guess that the "Teenager of Iberia" thought that the JSP set would go under in anticipation of the Columbia set. However that may have been, here we have the result. As "Calvados" himself puts it:

"The definitive edition of this monumental testimony of the birth of the real Jazz era, with comprehensive discographical data. A surprising good sound quality, never before reached.

Spectacular newly remasterization"

You'll see that "Calvados" has a loose grip on English adverbials, and also overapplies the "-ize-" verb suffix. Apparently he doesn't spend much time reading English, odd indeed for a fellow who makes his living ripping off American musicians and their dependents. This kind of sloppiness shows up not only in the "discographicalist material", as I once heard "Definitive" put it, but also in the "remasterization". So beware.
