I would have liked to have given this top marks; and would have done so on the quality of the stars and their music alone: However, so typical of Americans at that time, there is always someone who likes the sound of his voice better then the performers..even though we knew who was playing/singing he kept coming in with a voice over, and sometime into the performance to announce who the artist was at that time...completly spoiled it for me; however, if you can live with that, look forward to some sensational music and melody from people who were at the top of their 'trade' at the time of this recording...well worth buying for the musical content...
A bright and shiny mid-war showcase for the stars of jazz's first great era. Sure they're showing-off, even grandstanding. Its that kind of event. But when yr name is Satch or Hawk or Big Sid or Lionel or Billie or Jack, who's to complain. This album struts, shouts and wails like crazy. Don't miss.
