Pure... Jazz, a massive four-disc set from Sony in the EU, while not mistitled,
is a strange, wildly haphazard selection of jazz tunes recorded between the
1930s through the 1990s by virtually all of the labels the company owns -- from
Columbia, Epic, OKeh, etc. While all of the artists are names -- including Frank
Sinatra, Nina Simone, Benny Goodman, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Louis
Armstrong, Weather Report, Branford Marsalis, Duke Ellington, and dozens more --
and are represented by wonderful selections, its their sequencing that is the
real head-scratcher here. While the first few selections on disc one may not be
so jarring -- Davis So What, Armstrongs read of Mack the Knife, and Sinatras The
Brooklyn Bridge -- it gets quite weird on disc three when you travel from
Charles Mingus through Rosemary Clooney through Marsalis and George Benson to
Mel TormÃ©! Stranger still is disc four with Ornette Coleman, Gil Evans,
Dexter Gordon, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Ray Barretto, and Stanley Turrentine. The
price is certainly right, and the sound is terrific, but in terms of assemblage,
youd likely have more luck achieving aesthetically consistent pleasure by
putting this set into an old-school five-disc changer and hitting shuffle.
