V.A. / オムニバス / CLASSIC V-DISC SMALL GROUP JAZZ SESSIONS LIMITED EDITION BOX SET / CD

第二次世界大戦中、兵士の娯楽用として配布され始めたレコード"Vディスク"。1943~49年の間に残されたスウィング、トラッド、バップの宝庫ともいえる豪華演奏の中から、少人数編成グループでのセッションを厳選した11枚組CDボックスがリリース。NYの別の場所で演奏していたルイ・アームストロングが深夜にVディスク用セッションの録音中だったNBCに立ち寄ったことで実現した音源や、レーベル契約の関係で共演が難しかったミュージシャン同士の貴重なセッションも収録。兵士の士気を高める役割を果たしていただけでなく、あまりスポットライトの当たらない当時の音楽の幅広さや質の高さを証明する貴重な音源揃いです。
