Quick quotes:
Record Collector (magazine) (p.101) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[The collection] chro
nologically delineates the evolution of the genre, encompassing all its signific
ant watershed moments and including its most potent and pivotal pieces."
Smithsonian Folkways Recordings label notes:
JAZZ: The Smithsonian Anthology, the new 111-track, 6-CD, 200-page compendium of
the great American musical invention, traces the turning points of this 20th-ce
ntury tale through its legendary innovators and notable styles. The great Americ
an musical invention of the 20th century, jazz is an ever-youthful, still evolvi
ng music of beauty, sensitivity, and brilliance that has produced (and been prod
uced by) an extraordinary progression of talented artists.
With 111 tracks that showcase artists at their best and most influential, this r
emarkable anthology updates and expands the milestone Smithsonian Collection of
Classic Jazz of 1973, once again offering a wellspring resource for educators, s
tudents, musicians, beginners, and aficionados. Scores of leading jazz scholars,
performers, and writers collaborated in selecting the recordings and producing
the incisive annotations.
The accompanying book also features an informative background essay as well as s
uggestions for listeners on appreciating the full richness of the performances.
If ever there were a jazz appreciation course in a box, this is it. JAZZ: The Smit
hsonian Anthology renews the legacy of Folkways Records founder Moses Asch s commi
tment to letting the people s music be heard and fulfills the educational mission of
Smithsonian Folkways Recordings, the nonprofit record label of the United State
s national museum.
Album notes:
Released on March 29, 2011 on Smithsonian Folkways Recordings.
Album review:
1). This lavish 111-track, six-CD box set attempts the impossible -- to tell the
whole story of jazz. Essentially an updated version of 1987 s out of print The Sm
ithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz, this expanded anthology is wonderfully div
erse in the story it tells, with tracks from jazz artists across the stylistic b
oard, from Stan Kenton to Sun Ra, Bill Evans to Chick Corea, Louis Armstrong to
Cecil Taylor, with stops everywhere in between, and any conceivable branch of th
e genre is represented by at least one selection. That s the good news. The bad ne
ws is that whole phases of jazz s complicated history are treated like three-minut
e whistle stops so that the train can stay on schedule and on track. That said,
it s an impressive survey, and wonderfully assembled and annotated.
Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
2). As a stepping stone to dive into the history of American jazz music, this co
mpilation is an amazing opening. Spanning almost a century of music, each volume
thanks to an amazing quality remastering, presents a remarkably fresh and vital
body of works that stimulates the listener to circulate through multiple stylis
tic paths, from early rag to contemporary fusion.
Jazz: The Smithsonian Anthology is more that anything an aesthetic as well as a
political statement in a search for the true essence of American (popular) music
. Of course, there'll always be some scholars or enthusiasts that would regret s
ome unmistakable 'historical' recordings, not included here and there in the tim
eline. But this selection is the result of a collegial although subjective proce
ss by a group of academic experts and specialized journalists, that sounds spect
acularly consistent even for like-minded ears, and above all, for a non-jazz ori
ented audience.
