5.0 out of 5 stars
A very spirited album worth checking out
While this CD is listed under Jim Robinson, he is not the star of the CD. Then again, that is not really Robinson's purpose, since he is more a rhythm maintainer than a trombone virtuoso. The real star is Capt. John Handy, who plays alto sax on the first six tracks. If you've never heard his playing before, it is incredible. And this is coming from someone who...

OUT OF TUNE MUSIC
I am terrible disappointed with this CD. The first 6 tracks are spoilt by a loud audience, yelling and applauding through out the session. I am a fan of both Rimington and Robinson, but Rimington seemed to be really off key and the rest of the band sounded like a typical "out of tune" New Orleans band. Tracks 7 to 10 were a little better, without audience, but still...

A very spirited album worth checking out, January 7, 2005
This review is from: Classic New Orleans Jazz, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)
While this CD is listed under Jim Robinson, he is not the star of the CD. Then again, that is not really Robinson's purpose, since he is more a rhythm maintainer than a trombone virtuoso. The real star is Capt. John Handy, who plays alto sax on the first six tracks. If you've never heard his playing before, it is incredible. And this is coming from someone who normally dislikes the saxophone in any kind of New Orleans/traditional jazz pieces. Handy's sax playing is truly electric and is sure to compel your feet to stomp and your hands to clap. The highlights are 'Peg of My Heart', 'Lady Be Good' and 'Washington and Lee Swing'.
Tracks 7-11 do not include Handy, but there are still some spirited numbers, particularly 'I Will Be Somewhere Working for the Lord' and 'At a Georgia Camp Meeting'. Outside of Handy, there are no real standout performances, but all of the players sound good and play well together.

Tracks 7 to 10 were a little better, without audience, but still sounding like the bandsmen were out of tune with each other. Track 11 was much better, sounding like a real New Orleans band should do, I will not be keeping this CD.
