5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Ry Cooder!, August 18, 2000
By 
James Otterstrom (Big Bear City, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Jazz (Audio CD)
Beautiful timepieces from the era of Bix Beiderbecke and Jelly Roll Morton. If this were Ry Cooder's only recording he would be legendary, but fortunately for us, Ry spends his life discovering and sharing timeless musical treasures. One of Ry's most accessable excursions into realms forgotten or obscure, Jazz' highlights are, 'Big Bad Bill', 'The Pearls/Tia Juana', 'The Dream' with Earl 'Fatha' Hines on piano, 'Flashes', 'Shine', and 'Nobody', not to slight the other fine tracks here. A thoroughly enjoyable album of Jazz Americana with a cast of peerless players.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jazz, January 13, 2003
By 
This review is from: Jazz (Audio CD)
There are a few releases that stand out above the others. Jazz is certainly one of them.
It is very hard to classify the music. Is it blues, jazz, rock?
All of the above?
Whatever the genre, Ry is most definately a master. And whatever the genre, this album fits into the top 10 list of all time greats.
Don't be surprised if, after hearing it, you add it to your top 10 list as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sensational offbeat collection of early Jazz, June 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Jazz (Audio CD)
I love this album. It's an affectionate look at traditional jazz and blues music from the early part of the century. A wonderful dynamic recording. Humorous, poignant, all done with great sensitivity considering the politically incorrect nature of some of the material. A Cooder classic.
