Carroll Gibbons & His Boy Friends
Black Coffee - Volume 3
Compil. UK 2006 on Vocalion label
Jazz and Pop (Big Band)
Recorded 1931-1939 Made in England This was Vocalion's third CD devoted to Carroll Gibbons & his Boyfriends, which name merely denoted a small group drawn from the ranks his Savoy Hotel Orpheans. The first, CDEA 6004, featured guest star Hildegarde; the second, CDEA 6073, mainly featured vocalists singing selections from stage and screen. This reissue concentrates in the main on instrumental numbers, in which Carroll's piano features prominently. About half of the tracks are medleys, and thus within Vocalion's usual generous playing time of 75 minutes you'll hear a total of over 50 tunes. Anyone who's already bought either of the two preceding reissues will know that the standard of musicianship is quite superb. For me the stand-out track is "Shuffle Off To Buffalo" but in truth you're spoilt for choice with this hugely enjoyable selection,
