5.0 out of 5 stars Tracing The Footsteps Of A Giant, December 27, 2001
By 
Peter Acebal (Christiansburg, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: King Oliver 1923 1926 (Audio CD)
This CD captures King Oliver in transition from the latter days of the Creole Jazz Band (by now dubbed the "Jazz Band")on through a pair of classic duets with his New Orleans Comrade Jelly Roll Morton and then on with the sizzling Dixie Syncopators of 1926. This CD is an embarassment of riches,to tell the truth,-I am a bit of a King Oliver evangelist but there is ample evidence all over this CD of Oliver's artistry - just listen to his open horn choruses on "Mabel's Dream" and "Riverside Blues" then onto his contrapuntal backing Of Morton on "King Porter Stomp" and finally the crown jewel : the Dixie Syncopators "Sugar Foot Stomp".Here,Oliver's use of the plunge mute is simply ingenious while the whole band literally tears the roof off THIS track you'll find tough not to press the Replay button on your CD player over and over so I salute the dear people At Amazon for making these classic gems easily available for all persons with open ears.The King Lives!

5.0 out of 5 stars A 18 year old fan, June 20, 2001
This review is from: King Oliver 1923 1926 (Audio CD)
This CD is so good! All my friends like rap, but I don't. For as long as I can remember I've liked music from the 10's, 20's, 30's and 40's. This is a great CD, but its not for every taste.
