THE COMPLETE COMMODORE JAZZ RECORDINGS - VOLUME 1
MOSAIC BOXED SET: MR23 - 123
LIMITED EDITION: 2500 ALBUMS PRESSED
CONDITION: NEAR MINT
Those of you who have an interest in traditional jazz are probably aware of the impact that Milt Gabler had on this phase of jazz music. Milt started a jazz music store in New York City in 1926 and became the major retail outlet for recorded jazz in the New York area. In 1938 he broadened his participation by issuing and selling jazz records under the Commodore label and continued to so until 1957. Milt's story is fascinating as he was a major factor in all aspects of traditional jazz for many years.
The album listed herein, Vol. 1, includes all Commodore issues thru 1943 in a total of 23 records. Most jazz artists of that period are included in this collection. Each of these records has been played no more than twice and all are in near mint condition. The collection is packaged in two boxes within a large slipcover box. All boxes are in near mint condition as is the booklet containing the liner notes and discography.
These 23 records comprise a comprehensive collection of traditional jazz music from the1937-1943 period. Mosaic has indeed assembled and published a boxed set that fully meets the exceptional quality and coverage expected in their reissues.
