When contemporary culture acknowledges Bing Crosby at all, it is as a relic of ancient pop, his musical conservatism epitomized by "White Christmas." Happily, a new seven-disc Mosaic Records set reminds us that Crosby always swung without strain. In the mid-1950s, when he had apparently been eclipsed by , then by Elvis, Crosby was still singing splendidly. The often high-level melodrama of his early records had given way to a masterful casualness.

When contemporary culture acknowledges Bing Crosby at all, it is as a relic of ancient pop, his musical conservatism epitomized by "White Christmas." Happily, a new seven-disc Mosaic Records set reminds us that Crosby always swung without strain. In the mid-1950s, when he had apparently been eclipsed by , then by Elvis, Crosby was still singing splendidly. The often high-level melodrama of his early records had given way to a masterful casualness.
The 160 tracks in this set were recorded on tape for his daily radio show and find Crosby fronting pianist 's easy-going jazz quartet (anchored by the peerless drummer Nick Fatool). Crosby's commercial recordings showed him attempting to appeal to every constituency (thanks to Decca's Jack Kapp), thus singing hymns, cowboy songs, and forgettable pops.
Free at last to record what he liked, Crosby chose first-rate material: Rodgers, Warren, Duke, Waller, Berlin, Gershwin, Donaldson, Arlen, Youmans, Porter, a few Broadway standards. This set proves how much of a warm, unaffected jazz singer Crosby continued to be, subtly improvising on every track. A later session adds four hot horns to the quartet—including the swashbuckling trombonist —and places Crosby in the hip Dixieland ambiance he loved. Because of their intended audience, the performances will at first seem brief, and a dozen songs are beyond rescue. But Mosaic has again provided rare music in beautiful sound, with fine commentary from Crosby biographer Gary Giddins.
Mosaic sets are not meant to be listened to in a sitting, but these performances will help many listeners reevaluate their view of Crosby's jazz credentials. The music will also give pleasure long after the January sales have ended.

| **************************************************************************************************************************************************** Please note:From about 2011 thru 2013, I sold off most of my HUGE CD Box set collection. I'm sure some of you remember me, as I had most all of the Mosaic boxes, a ton of Bear Family, Hip-O-Select, Rhino Handmade Collector sets, though I still held on to a large number of rare sets. Additionally, over the last 3 years (2014 thru 2016), I acquired many, many more (I guess, once a collector, always a collector).:-) Unfortunately for me, these last 3 years have been difficult for me. Physically, I went thru several surgeries, dealing w~ blood clots and embolisms and many more ailments/injuries that kept coming my way during that time frame, preventing me from working. The divorce that occurred recently didn't help my state of mind either. :-) So.... recently, I decided to get out of Dodge (actually I'm in San Diego). I've decided to sell my house, AND ALL my CDs and music related items (NOLA Posters etc.), Much of this will go to paying off some leftover health and Credit Card bills. PLEASE, feel free to contact me regarding ANY item I'm putting up for sale with any questions, as well as to inquire what else I have that might be of interested to you. **************************************************************************************************************************************************** Even though I've only sold a few items in these last 3 years, I have ALWAYS had a VERY high Customer Rating, and I pledge to work with any buyer who is not satisfied with our transaction. In that vein, I try to keep S&H low. I DO NOT charge handling fees, and I charge a less than cost shipping fee off $2.69 for the 1st item shipped. Additionally, EACH ADDN'L item will be charged $1.49, with a maximum S&H cost of $10.00 (lowered from $10.14 for 6 items bought. ********************************************************************************************************* |
