The best Jazz news to hit the Square since Art Hodes' concerts, came this week in the form of an announcement by Victor records. They have published a list of 118 records which will be issued before September. At that time 100 more will follow. Among the more interesting platters are quite a few of the "Sister Kate" vintage of Muggsy's, "Blue Heaven" and "Jam" All Star sides of the "Bean," and some B.G. and "Fats" material. While a few numbers appear on Victor labels, the majority are Bluebird. This ought to be quite a relief to sore pocketbooks that have been shelling out plenty for the innumerable small company releases. A complete list of the above sides is available at Briggs and it sure is a sight for sore eyes to see prospects of getting those records which everyone has looked for so long.
The new Victor policy comes as a break in the style, followed for several years, of reissuing popular waxings in albums.
