That Old Feeling

That Old Feeling

This recording was made for the 5th anniversary of the founding of the Fats Jazz Band. In the 14-part playlist, we show the enlargement of the orchestra's repertoire, therefore you find there  arrangements of recordings from 1928 up to 1947. The Fats Jazz Band chooses the biggest names into its repertoire: Fats Waller, Teddy Wilson, Bix Beiderbecke, Frankie Trumbauer, Duke Ellington, Coleman Hawkins, Tommy Dorsey, Jack Teagarden, John Kirby, Billie Holiday or Peggy Lee. The dramaturgical culmination of the LP is the song "Hot And Bothered" from the repertoire of the Duke Ellington Orchestra from their Cotton Club engagement, when they recorded the most virtuoso pieces. In addition to a number of historic musical instruments, the use of the old celeste is also new ("That Old Feeling"). You will even find the arrangement of the first recording of the legendary song "Sing Sing Sing" as recorded by its composer, Louis Prima.

The LP was recorded strictly in analogue way by SEPEA Audio company with Sonodore RCM 402 and VOX-O-RAMA M36 microphones through Sonosax SX-T mixing console directly to Studer A80 half inch stereo master recorder with SEPEA audio cards at 30 ips. In parallel with LP recording, the sound is also recorded digitally for CDs of the same name, where you can find 22 songs, with different sound and using different takes.

Fats Jazz Band records all albums together with the singers without the using overdubs or any adjustments of tune, synchronization of the musicians etc. You hear the orchestra exactly as it plays live.
