Editorial Reviews

A fine collection of Boogie Woogie classics from the late 1930's and early 1940's featuring the talents of Will Bradley, Ray McKinley and the great piano of Freddie Slack. A great collection of Boogie Woogie memories with a couple of ballads thrown in for good measure, plus you get the instrumental side 2 0f "Beat Me Daddy" which is hard to find on other CDs. You won't be disappointed if you are aware of what you are buying.

Fine collection of Boogie Woogie classics from the late 30's & early 40's featuring the talents of Will Bradley, Ray McKinley and the great piano of Freddie Slack.I remember these songs and it's great to hear the originals again. This cd is obviously not quadrophonic or sterophonic as the originals were on mono 78's. To complain about the quality, in my opinion, seems somewhat ludicrous. The cd I received portrays the original sound just as I remember it. That's just the way it was back then. This one rates 5 stars in my book. A great collection of Boodgie Woogie memories with a couple of ballads thrown in for good measure. Plus, you get the instrumental side 2 of "Beat Me Daddy" which is a little hard to find on other cd's. You won't be disappointed if you are aware of what you are buying.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great song selection, mostly disappointing audio, December 3, 1999

This review is from: Beat Me Daddy to a Boogie Woogie Beat [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED] (Audio CD)

In my opinion, this CD has the best song selection available on this great band. But just like the Sony/Columbia CD, they did not bother to properly restore this material. There is a lot of echo in many of the tracks, interestingly enough though, "Scub Me Mama" is the alternate take. Untill someone properly issues this material, I'll keep playing my 78's.

4.0 out of 5 stars This Album is Fun, March 10, 2001

This review is from: Beat Me Daddy to a Boogie Woogie Beat [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED] (Audio CD)

Although the recording technology could have been better, the music is great. Ray McKinley drives this collection with his hugely popular Beat Me Daddy 8 to the Bar and other big hits. The band is at its tightest on Bounce Me Brother with a Solid 4. Will Bradley is one of the best trombone players of the era and shows off well in several cuts. Some of the numbers are more fun than exciting - but all in all, if you like good jazz, this is one you have.
