1.0 out of 5 stars Uninspired!, August 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Down By the Riverside (Audio CD)

The Dukes of Dixieland's "down by the riverside" was, in a few words, flat, thin, uninspired (on a Bose Lifestyle 25). Several selections sounded like one instrument playng and the others providing only background music; i. e., no interplay. Others had a big band sound, not dixieland. I thought the band was trying to fall asleep. It was only $5.63, and, I thought that I couldn't go wrong. Wrong!

What a great CD! Unlike the previous negative review, this CD is wonderful. It's the real New Orleans "Dukes" sound. It was so good, I just ordered the CD. From the sound samples, the band sounds like the authentic New Orleans sound. There are so many mediocre groups recording today, but this CD sounds like the original Dukes band. The clarinet player sounds a lot like the great Matty Matlock of the Bob Crosby band and now and then he sounds like Ed Reed who was an Artie Shaw sound alike. The trombonist sounds a lot like a cross between Bob Havens and Fred Assunto, the original Dukes trombonist. And I know what I'm talking about. I've performed & arranged the Dukes music and also Red Nichols and Bob Crosby music for the past 40 years. I own most of the Matty Matlock & Red Nichols music & I've played with dozens of dixie bands including Bob Crosby.
