New York. - sound recording reviews

National Review, Oct 28, 1988 by Ralph de Toldeano

New York (BBC): In jazz, this means Harlem, which added its own dimension to the music-a tighter and harder-driving beat and the big-band techniques that emerged during the swing era. The old timers of other cities are here, but this recording is distinguished by cuts from Duke Ellington, Chick Webb, the powerhouse Lunceford band, Fats Waller, and the Red Nichols-Miff Mole studio groups.
