Bunny Berigan - The Complete Brunswick, Parlophone and Vocalion Sessions '2003

Tracks list

       The selections presented here are all of Bunny Berigan's Brunswick,
Parlophone and Vocalion sessions as a leader as well as the Mildred Bailey and
Bud Freeman-led Parolophone dates in which he played a significant role. We have
also included selected ARC sides where Berigan as a sideman, offers a
significant solo passage or obbligato. We have not included a number of
recordings where a short Berigan solo is strictly a paraphrase on the melody,
regardless of whether it be from a commercial dance band arrangement or within a
jazz context. Therefore you will not find in this collection such Berigan items
as Let's Try Again by Smith Ballew or Was That the Human Thing To Do?by the
Boswell Sisters. Although Love Letters in the Sand(session E) falls into this
category, we have decided to include it for its rarity.

Although the sound quality of these sessions will differ from track to track, we
have made every effort to obtain the best possible source material, be it the
original metal parts, test pressings or commercially released 78s. However, we
would like to point out the following problems: Session (Y) Underneath the
Harlem Moon was in very bad condition and search for a better copy proved
fruitless; Session (DDD) had excessive echo in the metal parts possibly due to
problems with the wax master. We commend all those listed above who worked so
creatively.
