This review is from: With Dixie Stompers 1926-2 (Audio CD)

I owned these recordings when they came out on two Parlophone LPs, and was delighted to find them re-reissued on this Disques Swing double CD. The pseudonym was used for the recordings that Henderson made for the cut-price Harmony label, but there's nothing cut-price about their content. Cornetists included Rex Stewart, Tommy Ladnier, and Bobby Stark, trombonists Charlie Green, Benny Morton, and Jimmy Harrison, Buster Bailey, Coleman Hawkins, and Don Redman were on reeds, and the latter also arranged and sang, and Kaiser Marshall was on drums. All 33 sides are here, sound quality is better than acceptable, and the fold-out liner contains discography, band photograph, and notes by Frank Driggs. Normally I'd drop to four stars because of the running time (just over an hour and three-quarters of an hour respectively), but an exceptional CD deserves exceptional treatment.
