CD Reviews

Great Value - Great Selection - Decent Sound and Notes

musicfaninchicago | Chicago, IL USA | 10/08/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is an unbeatable value. These are truly greatest hits - for example, Louis Armstrong's Potato Head Blues, Ellington's Creole Love Call, Moten Swing, Coleman Hawkins Body and Soul. If you are into this period, you probably have most of these tracks already, but at the price it's worth picking up the odd items you may be missing. If you don't have a big collection of early jazz, this is a great place to start. My only quibble would be that the selection is heavily slanted toward the 30s.

There are decent liner notes with at least track and personnel info and recording dates, if not original label info, and each cd has its own sleeve with track listings. The CEDAR sound restoration is pretty good. Certainly better than a lot of budget reissues, but there are probably better masterings on the market for particular tracks (e.g., Proper Box Hot Fives)."
