"Like the companion set, Hittin' on All Six (jazz guitar), this collection brings together a wide range of excellent records that date from the earliest jazz recordings going up though early modern. Some of the selections are predictable, some are obscure, but they all are interesting. Lots of Sid Catlett, for example, and excellent choices on the big band side in particular (Cozy Cole, Jimmy Crawford and Jo Jones, to name three). No Lionel Hampton, but the fabulous cymbal beat of Alvin Burroughs with a Hampton small group. And of course, Chick Webb's Liza, which features wonderful drumming but also a really fine trumpet solo by Bobby Stark (the 2nd solo)."
A Great Drum CD
Frederico Lunardelli Ponzio | Brazil | 09/02/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)
"This is a great CD that show a complete panorama about the
history of drums and drummers. They are 4 CD's selected by themes like:
Have an excellent book with a short history of each drummer, with
good pictures from the greatest drummers.
It has great's drums solos from Ray Bauduc, Baby Dodd's, Zutty Singleton, Sony Greer(very rare), Chick Webb, Sid Cattlet, Buddy Rich, Louis Bellson and some others not so famous, but very important to the history of the drums. And good executions from Tony Sbarbaro (his name are incorrect on cd: "Sharbaro"), Cozy Cole, Krupa, Manzey Johnson, Art Blakey playing on a big band, and more...
I miss more drums solos. That's the reason i gave "4" and not "5" stars. Unfortunatly dont have any solo from the greatest Dave Tough, Jo Jones and Lionel Hampton (Hampton don even appears on cd).
But the people who select this collection knows about the drum and drummers history!
Every drummer or lover need's to have this collection!!!
Is an excellent and well done jazz drumming class!!!
