4.0 out of 5 stars Harlem's dance band, July 26, 2002

By 

bukhtan (Chicago, Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chick Webb 1929 to 1934 (Audio CD)

This was the great Black dance band to beat for Duke Ellington. And many in Harlem thought he didn't manage it. And if you think Gene Krupa is the top drummer of the Thirties, maybe you should think again.
These tracks are simpler than Ellington's, but still of considerable interest. Those composed or arranged by the fine alto saxophonist Edgar Sampson are especially worth listening to, for example "Stomping at the Savoy" and "Blue Minor".
Chronogical [sic] Classics did a good job on this one; all the 78's appear to have been good copies and the transfers and remastering came off well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Early Chick, March 3, 2011

By 

echoes of empires (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chick Webb 1929 to 1934 (Audio CD)

Except for the first two songs, this cd's tracks can be found in their entirety on the Chick Webb cd, "Rhythm Man," $9 for the mp3 album. The first two songs (Dog Bottom and Jungle Mama) can be found in the mp3s on another cd - just do an mp3 search. Early Chick doesn't have to cost 45!
