Just in from discogs in the mail a Helen Merrill I never expected to find at a decent price:
Helen Merrill “Sing A Swing With Digital” Mitsubishi cd, 1983
The track here fusing “All Blues” with “St. Louis Blues” is really cool!
Alto Saxophone – Marshall Royal
Arranged By – Eiji Kitamura, Kousei Uchida or Nat Pierce
Bass – Hideo Kawahara or Monty Budwig
Clarinet – Eiji Kitamura
Drums – Jake Hanna or Tim Horner
Guitar – Cal Collins
Piano – Kousei Uchida
Trombone – George Masso
Trumpet – Jack Sheldon
Vocals – Helen Merrill
INTERESTING NOTE: Mitsubishi Stereo Digital Recording
Made In Japan. All the songs recorded in this CD have done by the system of digital recording. 32ch-PCM recorder X-800 by Mitsubishi Corp., which has the most channels as fixed-head PCM recorder, and digital recorder X-80 with 2 channel fixed-head by the same company are built in the digital recorder used here.
I didn’t know tenor saxophonist Simon Rigter, but this album has made me a fan. Of course it helps that this is yet another superb recording by Frans de Rond whose work for Sound Liaison is consistently excellent. Recorded at MCO, Studio 2 Hilversum in December 2020 and just released in the past couple of weeks (here).
One of 30 or so CDs I picked up when Michel Dorbon offered them as part of Rogue Audio’s end of year promotion.
