5 out of 5 stars Sinatra Swing Instrumentals!.......2006-10-12

If you like Sinatra's early swing albums on Capital Records like Come Fly With Me and Songs For Swinging Lovers, then you will enjoy this album by one of Sinatra's best know swing arrangers. It's like Sinatra karaoke, with all the sound of a Sinatra record minus the Sinatra attitude and voice. I highly recommend this CD!

      4 out of 5 stars A really good collection. There is more than this, though.......2004-08-24

      This is a great collection of music from Rice Miller (Sonny Boy Williamson II)'s days with the Trumpet label, i.e. before he came to Chess Records.
      There is nothing new here...all of these sides have been released on the CDs, "King Biscuit Time", "Clowning With The World" and "Goin' In Your Direction", and serious Rice Miller-fans will want all those three. No need to go for the edited version!

      But if you're just looking for a taste of Miller's pre-Chess sides, "1951-1953" offers a lot of value for money. Rice Miller was a truly remarkable musician, and a tremendous songwriter whose keen attention to detail was quite unusual in a genre which relied heavily on cliché and a handful of repeated patterns. And his abilities on the harmonica are unsurpassed. These rough early sides are not a well recorded as Miller's Chess sides, but any fan of "classic" electric blues should hear Rice Miller's gritty, ramshackle Trumpet sides. Song after song exhibits a rough and wild joy, walking the blues side of the street with a loose-limbed swagger.

      5 out of 5 stars Very Important Recordings.......2001-09-27

      Although it has been said that Richard *Rocked* in Clubs in the early '50s his recordings on RCA and Peacock from that era are more in the melancholy slow blues and swingin' fast blues tradition of the 1940s. It seems that record companies were not yet ready for the pioneering sound of "Long Tall Sally". But just because tracks like "Get Rich Quick", "Ain't Nothin' Happening", "Taxi Blues" have only a hint of what to come, that doesn't mean they do not represent an amazing new talent on the scene, singer-songwriter-showman Little Richard. Despite the obvious echoes of Roy Brown, Billy Wright, etc., you can hear a joyful tenor singing circles around any "influences", and on "Little Richard's Boogie" you can hear a funky piano leaving the other instrumentalists breathless.
      A big selling point are the early incarnations of Specialty Classics like "Directly From My Heart You" (released and alternate). This blues-based number was recalled by Mr. Penniman in late '65 for Modern Records, as well. [Look for the 45rpm version].
      With the seemingly weekly release of unissued Elvis Presley, plus a decent number of rarities out there by other Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, this highly under-represented artist has (apparently) only his '50s material in "previously unreleased" form. This CD may cry out for '60s and '70s companions but more than stands alone. Well, Allright!

        They all got together: George Shearing, Erroll Garner, Milt Buckner - with a little help from young Bud Powell and perhaps a couple of others. They all got together and snatched her brain. What can you say? There is mood, groove...lots of "Jazz values". But I've never seen a major, mature musician be so overwhelmed by the influence of others. It's a bit frightening. She was "ahead of her time" in the '30's and I'm sure all these new sounds responded to a need she had already felt. But they are so bland by comparison - so like "I went to a little club and heard this really good Jazz pianist" - esque. I want my Mary Lou back!
