Descripción
Part of a series of re-releases of Storyville’s traditional jazz repertoire, recorded from the beginning of the 50’s and into the 60’s. It all started in 1950 when Chris Barber came to Denmark. We introduced Chris to The Ramblers, and I even succeeded in persuading Memory/Danish Vogue to record 4 titles. In the following years (1953 - 1963) Storyville’s 'artist-agency', Jazz Jamboree, booked a number of English artists for tours in Denmark: Ken Colyer, Chris Barber, Cy Laurie, Graham Stewart, Sandy Brown, Lennie Baldwin and Bob Wallis among others. These CDs contains the result of these visits that have been immortalized either in the studio or by concert recordings. Much of this material has not seen the light of day until now. The Danish bands were recorded at the same time : Papa Bue, Adrian Bentzon, Henrik Johansen, Bohana, Ricardo, Arne Birger, Theis-Nyegaard, etc. We have chosen to let the basis for the series be 45 EPs. In this way the 15 CDs, which the series contains, each start off with 3 EPs by 3 different artists. To that is added unreleased titles or material from earlier 45s and compilation LPs, so every CD represents 5-7 different bands.
