Since my youth I have been looking for the Baby Dodds talking and drumming records from the early forties. I had them - a while - on some worn 78 rpms, but the sound was very unsatisfactory, so for years I waited -in vain- for a CD-resissue. Finally it came and I can only very warmly recommend people interested in jazz history and the great names from then to give the young Dodds an open ear. It is simply fascinating. Thanks to the company, that made these pearls available!
The Brass Band-bonus is more on the jocular side - but interesting!

The album "talking and Drum Solos" is a classic. But the strange compilation here os two brass bands and Dodds is odd. Dodd recorded in 1946, the two brass bands in 1954. More problematic is that the track listing on the disc lists 28 tracks... but the CD only contains 25... The first and last tracks are certainly correct, so the error lies in between.
