Very nearly didn't buy this. No-one had reviewed it so I was rather in the dark. Now that I have the disc I am addicted to Sidney Bechet! RCA Victor has given us a first-rate recording - apart from only one track from 1949 which is a little scratchy - but I still feel the 5 stars are merited for the standard of Bechet's artistry. His rendition of Petite Fleur and Le Marchand De Poisson is hypnotic...He demands your full undivided attention - and gets it. If you don't know Bechet but like jazz - buy this CD - and if you are already a Bechet fan, you won't be disappointed.

The music of the Porgy and Bess soundtrack virtually transports you back to the deep south. With "modern day lullabies" such as summertime this is a perfect album to sit back and relax to. Allowing the classic and original vocal tones of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong to lull you away to a warm and romantic place.

4.Gentle Hawk by: Coleman Hawkins October 26, 1996

This is a wonderful album of jazz by one of the great tenor saxophonists, Coleman Hawkins. Every note is played with feeling, tenderness and great skill. There's not a weak track on this album; each one is a carefully crafted piece of musicianship. At full price this would be highly recommended - at bargain price it more or less becomes an automatic choice. Coleman Hawkins should definitely be better known, and this album is a marvellous place to become acquainted with him and his music.

...but only 3 for this boxed set, an average grade between - Minus: muddy sound on the remastering. Plus: wide selection of tracks.

I originally had this recording on Brunswick (Stereo!) vinyl from 1959, but it has long gone. After seeing it available on CD I had no hesitation in buying it again. Everyone on the recording seems to be having a good time, and the music ranges from pure jazz to a couple of more "ballad" type songs. The US import I received is in Mono (which is probably better as some early stereo records seem too "separated"). Excellent quality and fine performances. 18 tracks, but it all fitted on one LP as some of the tunes are only between one and two minutes long. I recall the film was partly fun, part "lump in throat" with a mushy ending, but well worth a viewing. Not one of the best known soundtrack albums, ... Read More:

9.Complete Recorded Works 1926-1930 by: Jelly Roll Morton June 18, 2001

Complete Recorded Works 1926-1930 Although praise is (rightly) heaped on Louis, his near contemporary Jelly Roll Morton is often mentioned in a slightly apologetic tone as if he is somehow in a different league to Armstrong. This is undoubtedly true when comparing performing talents (although Morton was a very fine pianist indeed). Jelly's true greatness lies in his band leading and arranging skills. These discs contain a variety of styles of music, such as the sheer exuberance of the opening number (Black Bottom Stomp), the inanities of Billy Goat Stomp and little tone poems like "Mournful Serenade". Incidentally this last number is a pirated version of King Oliver's "Chimes Blues" but Morton's account is completely his own. ... Read More:

Having lived with these tracks for about 50 years, repeated listening has confirmed that these are the finest recordings of a 'classic' New Orleans ensemble ever made. The front line are completely integrated with no one (not even Louis Armstrong!) trying to hog the limelight. There are no 'star' soloists and the cornets, clarinet, and trombone, although distinctive voices, blend together to create a polyphony so perfect as to almost defy belief. Sadly, this perfection could not last. The era of the great soloists was about to dawn and, although - for example - Armstrong, Hawkins, Bechet, etc created magnificent music, the very fact of their individual creativity meant the end of the truly integrated ensemble until the early 1940's. Duke Ellington, ... Read More:
