1.0 out of 5 stars Curb Records Should Be Curbed For This CD, May 2, 2004

This review is from: Best of Dukes of Dixieland (Audio CD)

A CD with 8 tracks and a total time of 19 minutes is unsatsfactory, especially when one of those tracks is clearly an outtake, or should have been. On that particular track, the trumpet comes in about two measures too soon, realizes his mistake and stops playing until the rest of the band comes in. Oops!

The CD is monaural, which would be okay, except that it was apparently recorded with only one microphone (perhaps around 1949-50?). The result is that, for most of the album, the piano and bass are barely audible.

None of the players are identified, except that the cover picture is apparently of the Assunto family.

I have heard a LOT of Dixieland Jazz in my 66+ years, and no one does it better. The essence of the feelings of each musician is totally awesome.

The Dukes of Dixiland - great music of course! But I had barely put it on the CD player than I had to change it, and only then realized that I was only getting 19 minutes of Dixieland for the money. Since most of my CD's go to 45 minutes or more, I felt a bit short-changed.
