If this 16-song collection had been done a decade later, some of the cuts here might sound slightly cleaner, sharper, and richer -- but they still sound okay, and overall this is a fine sampler of jazz highlights from the Okeh, Columbia, Vocalion, and Brunswick labels. Stuck in among the big names -- such as Duke Ellington ("Lazy Rhapsody," with Cootie Williams turning in a voice appearance), Cab Calloway ("The Man from Harlem"), Fletcher Henderson ("Can You Take It?" with Coleman Hawkins on clarinet and tenor sax), Chick Webb ("Let's Get Together"), Red Norvo ("Remember"), Count Basie ("Riff Interlude") and Benny Goodman ("Stealin' Apples," in a version previously unavailable in the U.S.) -- are Claude Hopkins ("Mush Mouth"), Teddy Hill ("Passionette"), the Blue Rhythm Band ("St. Louis Wiggle Rhythm"), Ben Pollack ("Jimtown Blues," with Harry James and Glenn Miller among the soloists), Erskine Hawkins ("Uproar Shout"), amd Don Redman ("That Blue-Eyed Baby from Memphis"). Producer/annotator Michael Brooks has outdone himself on one of the most enduring compilations in the CBS jazz reissue catalog. "The Man from Harlem," sung by Cab Calloway, is a really amazing drug song/narrative that could've been the basis for a great (but completely censored) Fleischer cartoon. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
