Almost the Entire Recording History

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD comes close to offering the ODJB's entire recording history, except for the sides on Columbia, before the RCA recordings, and some of their sides with larger orchestras. Still, this is an outstanding sampling of their music, including the recordings made in l936, when the band got back together for the March of Dimes. It's neat to catch the energy still in the band over these years, even though the recording techniques are so primitive for their earlier sides. They're the pioneers of recorded traditional jazz, and deserve all of their hype. See my review of other ODJB CDS."
