CONTROL BOOTH SERIES, VOLUME 1

Description:
Strictly for completists, this CD has 25 performances but just ten separate songs; 15 are alternate takes. The music, particularly the originally released versions, is excellent; Lady Day is in fine form, and there are some solos from trumpeter Roy Eldridge, Benny Carter on clarinet, tenorman Georgie Auld, pianist Teddy Wilson and on the final session tenor saxophonist Lester Young. Among the tunes are "I Hear Music," "St. Louis Blues," "Let's Do It" and "Romance in the Dark." Most collectors would be satisfied with just having the regular versions, but one can appreciate slight differences in each rendition, particularly from the soloists.
