Here is what people are saying about the Dizzy Gillespie - Dizzy Gillespie Story 1939-50
2 Star Rating  "Missed opportunity"2007-11-15
- Reviewed By spotnik63
I too was gravely disappointed by the sound quality. I owned many of these tracks on the Everest label years ago. In fact, I'm glad I kept those LPs because I cannot find a CD reissue that can beat them for sound quality, particularly on the sessions he did with Charlie Parker. Now, documentation--that's a different matter. But here, Proper even cut off the first two notes of Dizzy's intro to "Blue and Boogie." That's just plain shoddy, and frankly unlistenable. It was really a let down, after being so excited to finally see the Dizzy/Parker sides (Shaw 'Nuff, etc.) on one set, only to hear what they had done to them.
 
5 Star Rating  "Superb material w/ ample sound"2007-02-19
- Reviewed By moonlullabybooks
Proper Records is doing a wonderful job at offering affordable box sets of the early legends of jazz music, and "The Dizzy Gillespie Story 1939-1950" is certainly no exception. While I understand how a previous reviewer came to surmise the sound quality is not what it could be, I have to say personally I find the sound ample and likewise rewarding. You'll spend oodles more in cash trying to obtain what you can get on this one set, only to find you wasted precious time and money in doing so.

For casual fans of Gillespie, the most influential of early bebop trumpeters, this collection might be all you ever buy. The insert provides listeners with a wealth of material both on the specific recordings present as well as critical artist biographical info. Unless you really know what you are doing, remastering work like this can often ruin and not enhance the material in question. I am completely satisfied with the quality and am thankful they did not harm the integrity of recordings, while admittedly they appear to have done little if anything to enhance it.

Five stars for showcasing a great musician with wonderful packaging and sufficient sound, this box set is an absolute treat. Bravo to Proper Records, for knowing what fans want and delivering. So toss this one in your cart or place it on your to-buy list and prepare to be delighted!
 
5 Star Rating  "Bebop Brilliance"2006-08-22
- Reviewed By User: A4QABL29MBF6W
The breadth of Dizzy's work covered in this box set is staggering. You could easily spend 4 times the amount of money gathering these sessions together. I am a big fan of Charlie Parker, and I especially love the music in which Bird and Diz played together. I have to admit though, that while Charlier Parker contributed the phrasing and the genius that launched bebop, it was Dizzy that provided the leadership and the mentoring that kept it moving forward. The recognition of Dizzy's contributions seems to be sorely lacking, then and even now.

This box set captures Dizzy's efforts during this most crucial period that shaped what modern jazz sounds like today. It covers his early work with Cab Calloway, Lionel Hampton, Billy Eckstine, and Coleman Hawkins, and the early small group work with Bird leading up to their trip to California. It includes Dizzy's bebop big band after returning to New York, as well as his earliest Afro-Cuban recordings with Chano Pozo.

If this wasn't enough, the box set includes Bird and Diz's 1947 Carnegie Hall concert, and the famous Bird/Diz/Monk recordings from 1950, when Norman Granz got exactly what he didn't want, and we bebop fans got exactly what we did want (thank you Mr. Granz).

Dizzy's energy, power, and enthusiasm never diminish throughout these selections, and the bands, small and large, swing with incredible precision. It is so good to hear his fluttering trumpet lines soaring over the lush big band background and settling back to earth.

Finally a word about the sound quality- An early review of this box set decried the sound quality, and frankly that is what kept me from purchasing it for a long time. Having nearly worn out the CDs now, I think the sound quality is just fine. I have duplicates of many of the songs in this set, including the early small group bebop sessions and the master takes of the Bird/Diz/Monk set, and I can tell you that the sound quality is as good or better in this set than in the duplicates.
 
5 Star Rating  "Exhaustive, detailed treatment of early Dizzy"2005-10-01
- Reviewed By User: A1BWX62GJ0P5MZ
Most of us that love and follow the origins of modern jazz seem to know all about the early recordings of Charlie Parker, for instance, the Jay McShann recordings, the Redcross acetates, the Tiny Grimes session, and finally the Bird/Diz output of 1945 for Guild and the Comet session with Red Norvo.

This CD box covers the early years of bebop via the recordings of Dizzy Gillespie. It includes all important sessions leading up to the Bird/Diz recordings (Teddy Hill, Cab Calloway, Lionel Hampton, Coleman Hawkins), and after the split with Bird, covers his output with his big band and small groups up to 1950.

Some very rare recordings are included, such as his 1st recording of Groovin' High, with Dexter Gordon, and a session with strings of Jerome Kern's compositions, that was pulled because the estate of Kern objected to Dizzy's liberties.

I have never seen so complete a box set dealing with Dizzy Gillespie's early work. The liner notes are quite complete as well.

Highly recommended!
 
5 Star Rating  "Not Bad For The Price & Period Considering Dizzy's Total Output."2005-06-05
- Reviewed By jerrygrossman
Complete with an an informative booklet, colorfuly packaged,a lot of early band sides and "hits" a la Ken Burns style,much Savoy Groovin High period as well as some Bird and the RCA period nicely covered.
No one can say after you get this box set you were robbed..OK, they are not the Original Masters but are pretty good to my ears.The sound is pretty clean and this box remains a great overview even Penguin's Guide To Jazz says so. It is a great sampler not a composite whole in listening to the man.
 
4 Star Rating  "perfect selection, sound quality just fine"2005-04-27
- Reviewed By atsab-99
This is a very inexpensive way to get all the key early Bebop sides in one place, plus a bunch of stuff you don't need as well. Some of these recordings are among the most important ever made. An earlier reviewer complained about the sound quality. I found nothing wrong; maybe he didn't know what to expect from magnetic recordings that have been transferred onto CD from 60-year-old 78 RPMs.

I would totally buy this box set if I were you. I compared the sound quality to the "complete RCA/victor recordings" and there was virtually no difference. It's maybe not top of the line quality, but its totally worth it, because the music is completely enjoyable still and the fuzz isn't bad at all... it's like you're actually listening to the record, instead of a small piece of plastic onto which data is written and read.

Also, Charlie Parker, my fave, appears on MANY of these tracks, including some FANTASTIC live ones that I haven't seen anywhere else. When they get together they really soar!

If you want to get into Dizzy and his pals in their prime development, ca. 1945-50, and catch a glimpse at his vitruoso playing before that, this is the set to go with. Don't worry about the sound quality.

Finally, if you like this I must recommend the inexpensive CD box-set "Bebop Spoken Here" on the same label. It contains many of the songs here but it is a selection of various artists from 1944-50, tracing the birth and development of BOP! Maybe you should start there, as it highlights this set as well as others.
