CD Reviews

Import labels do right by jazz fans

that opinionated guy | 04/18/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"it should drive every jazz fan nuts that small import labels take the time to compile and release jazz sessions the way they should be . when I first heard that there were a number of quartet sides cut by waldron and mclean I figured I'd have to buy 3 or 4 cd's to get all of them . well , here they all are , on a 2 cd set , reasonably priced and sounding fine . as for the actual contents , these sessions pre-date mclean's coming into his own as a soloist , so I've docked them a notch accordingly . still this stuff is definitely worth having if you're a fan of either artist , and I can't stress enough how terrific it is that labels like definitive , fresh sounds , and lonehill are around to serve the needs of jazz fans . and a big boo to the folks at concord/ojc for not doing this kind of thing on a regular basis ."
