Return in Force
Dr. Robert Hackler | Orlando, Fl. USA | 08/22/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"For anyone interested in the beginnings of jazz, one begins with the ODJB, because "Livery Stable Blues" and "Dixieland One-Step" was the first record of jazz in February, l9l7. The recording techniques were primitive and subsequent recordings in the U.S. and England did little to improve the reproduction by modern standards. When the band got back together in the l930's, although at times a swing band and at times with different personnel, the jazz buff can hear the ODJB with much improved recording quality. The earlier recordings rerecorded are at a slower beat but unquestionably put the ODJB in the lead of innovative jazz and as Benny Goodman acknowledged in his Carnegie Hall concert, they were the true pioneers. Therefore, this is a must for any collector!"
