Absolutamente recomendable todo lo que se pueda encontrar de las series Blues & Rythm y The Chronological de la discográfica francesa Classics dedicada a incunables y pioneros del rythm & blues y el Jazz, principalmente de las décadas de los 1930s, 40s y 50s, con cientos de referencias editadas a cada cual mejor y que se deben al empeño del responsable del sello, Gilles Petard, de cuya colección personal provienen la mayoría de los temas y que decidió primeramente venderlos bajo subscripción y editarlos quincenalmente como si de fascículos se tratara antes de hacerlos llegar a los cauces habituales de venta, con el añadido de que (afortunadamente) sólo incluye grabaciones definitivas en Estudio (nada de tomas alternativas, grabaciones piratas y demás material de relleno) pero, eso sí, con el intento de cubrir todo lo que cada artista publicó oficialmente, el diseño imitando los antiguos discos de 78 revoluciones por minuto y con libreto interior con fotos y datos. Ray Charles, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Louis Prima y muchísimos más (algunos probablemente desconocidos para el gran público pero no importa pues cualquiera de los discos es una auténtica gozada).
Absolutely unmissible all one can find from the Classics french label wich in the Rythm & Blues and The Chronological series edited hundreds of references of Blues & Rythm and Jazz pioneers in the decades of the 1930's, 40's and 50's. Any record out there with that label is a must for good music lovers and all is due to the effort of the man responsible for it, Gilles Petard, who at first wanted to edit every 15th of the month (he's kept that over the years) a reference under subscription (like it was a magazine) covering every official Studio recording from every artist considered (no alternate takes or bootlegs or shit), almost all from his personal collection, the design imitating an old 78 rpms record's folder and the inner including photos and detailed info. Ray Charles, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Louis Prima and many many more (many of wich are probably unknown to the big public but it doesn't matter for all of these records are pure musical heaven)...
