| These rare transatlantic dates issued by HRS and Vogue performs Basie-ite trumpeter Clayton (for whom Stanley Dance coined the term "mainstream") with solid backing in four sessions that can be considered among the final small-group swing events of the classic era. Recorded in NY and Paris 1946-1949. Ocium Records out of Barcellona, Spain is a specially-priced reissue label. Each disc features at least one multi-media track, audio restored and digitally remastered for the finest possible sound, and a 8-page booklet with extensive liner notes, rare photos, complete track listings and personnel info. |
