THE BLANTON-WEBSTER BAND

NEVER NO LAMENT

Description:
3 CD set. Never No Lament: The Blanton Webster Band, covering the years 1939 1942 in the great composer and bandleader's career, is essentially the third time that RCA has issued this material on CD. The first was a botched job, appalling even, with its flattened out, compressed sound, along with a chopped version of "Take The A Train" and other sonic and editorial errors. The second version was completely remastered and corrected the editorial problems, but featured no alternate takes from the band's performances. Beyond the original 66 tracks, nine additional cuts are featured here, including four brand new master take issues of "Another Pitter Patter," "Body and Soul," "Sophisticated Lady," and "Mr. J.B. Blues," as well as alternate takes of "Ko Ko," "Bojangles," "Sepia Panorama," "Jumpin' Punkins," and "Jump for Joy." If you are new to this set, it's a fine introduction. The Blanton Webster Band featured a great many soloists, including Cootie Williams, Ray Nance, Rex Stewart, and vocalist Herb Jeffries. Box set comes with special booklet on Ellington's life and new, extensive liner notes.
