Rare gems
This unearthed musical treasure trove is a wonderful discovery for seasoned Raymond Scott followers and neophytes alike. Together producers’ Skip Heller and Stan Warnow (also Scott’s son) along with the steerage and support of sound engineer Gavin Ross, and record label Real Gone Music, have created a wonderfully comprehensive and complete anthology album spanning Scott’s big band radio performances during the 1940’s. Also with an amazing line up of musicians like tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, and drummer Cozy Cole this compilation has much to offer for many jazz listeners of varying tastes.It is difficult to single out any particular songs on this album however ‘Enchanted Forest’ and ‘Naked City’ are favorites of mine, listening to them makes me reminiscent of the era when one would still be hearing this music on the radio for the first time.There has been criticism regarding the sound quality of this recording, and I am in no way a qualified audiophile and do not possess the capacity to make such comparisons, but I actually appreciated hearing this album in a more raw, less filtered way, as though I was listening to it from my grandfather’s old Philco Radio.Lastly, a major tip of the hat to Skip Heller for such meticulous and adept liner notes. Reading along while listening to ‘Hemi Demi Semi Quaver’ nearly feels the equivalent to taking a MasterClass on Raymond Scott. Also looking thru the amazing archival photos of Scott in action brings this embodiment of work together in one very thoughtful and well-rounded package.I highly recommend it for all ages, and Raymond Scott fans at whatever level you might be, from soup to nuts, this is a must have for any music collection.
