Editorial Reviews

Richmond, Indiana's Gennett label didn't have the clout of Victor or Columbia-but a tour through this track list will tell you that they were a key player in early jazz recording. Check it out: Just Gone; Snake Rag King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band; Kansas City Stomp; Wolverine Blues Jelly Roll Morton; Ya Gotta Know How to Love Fess Williams; Wild Geese Blues Alberta Jones; My Baby State Street Ramblers; My Back to the Wall Irene Scruggs; Oh Baby Wolverine Orchestra; Bringing Home the Bacon Windy City Jazzers; How Could I Be Blue? Elvira Johnson, and more!

This is a great collection. As expected, some scratchy recordings here and there, but overall, I am very excited for these CDs! Super affordable. Super rare recordings. Super good deal.
