CD ReviewsStab from the past Johnny Hodges | Clark Fork, ID United States | 01/17/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "When Topsy was a hit in the 50s, I had the joy of owning an album with a sweating, demonic looking Cozy Cole on the cover holding the sticks with his fists about to mightily smite his kit. The album was appropriately name "Cozy Cole Hits", and does he ever. Never thought I'd get to hear these performances again, but this is that album and I'm in heaven. Cole's unbelievably powerhouse drumming spurs on a backup band of stellar musicians (uncredited on the original album due to contract issues) prodded to soaring heights. Digital remastering job excellent. The CD includes a 2nd album with Cozy Cole and another allstar band backing chanteuse Savina Cattiva (hence the CD title). These laid back tunes are nice, although the sound quality is not as good. I like to listen to this CD in shuffle play; the Savina tunes give me a chance to catch my breath between Topsy, Turvey, etc. You Ellington fans will be BLOWN AWAY by Caravan." NOT dissapointing! S. Jahns | Mpls., MN | 09/01/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Not dissapointing might seem like a back-handed compliment. But not in this case. Often, these reissues of hard to find examples from less-recorded artists dissapoint. Sometimes they perform covers produced for obvious commercial reasons. Sometimes the performance of the artist you want to hear is diminished for a variety of reasons. Sometimes the quality of the recording is poor. Sometimes the material is just plain bad. But not in this case. Anyone who has heard Cozy Cole's drumming in Topsy Part II is aware that he set himself apart as a drummer. I still get mezmerized when I listen to that number. His rhythm, pace and dynamics are just amazing. This CD delivers the goods if you have ever wondered how he sounded doing other material. The sound quality is great, his band is great, and he is in fine form. I just wish the CD included his "Big Noise from Winnetka"- which was probably recorded on a label other than Love records. I even enjoy the Savina tracks." TOPSY PART 1 AND PART 2 SANDRA GREEN | NEW YORK CITY | 10/30/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL I'D TAPPED DANCE OFF OF THIS TUNE. I LOVE THIS C.D SAVINA. SANDRA FROM NEW YORK"
