V.A. / The Greatest Black Big Bands 1930-1956
こんなコロナ禍でも（だからこそ？）心を満たしてくれる音楽をせっせとコンパイルする姿勢に頭が下がる思いでいっぱいの仏フレモー＆アソシエからの「The Greatest Black Big Bands」と題された2枚組!!! サッチモ、カウント・ベイシー、キャブ・キャロウェイ、エリントン、ライオネル・ハンプトン等々、心を弾ませてくれる演奏が盛りだくさんで、感謝しかないです！ The big band era corresponds exactly to the great period of classic jazz in which black band leaders, arrangers and musicians added that something special to popular American music. Jacques Morgantini presents the greatest Black Big Bands of the 1930-1956 era in a 40 tracks selection presented in a 36 pages booklet. （Patrick Fremeaux） CD 1 LOUIS ARMSTRONG 1.
