Editorial Reviews

Ohio-born Trombonist, Singer and Bandleader Walter "pee Wee" Hunt (1907-1979) was for Many Years the Happy Face of Dixieland Jazz. He Became a Familiar Name During the 30s Playing with Glen Gray’s Casa Loma Orchestra, and Formed his Own Band after the War to Become a Popular Figure of the Big Trad Jazz Revival Movement of the Time. Pee Wee Continued to Dispense his Joyful, Spirited Brand of Music Right Up to his Death.twelfth Street Rag was the 1948 Million-selling No.1 That Brought Pee Wee Hunt International Fame. This is the Only CD of his Music Available.

An excellent recording from this 1948 record, I came to jazz late in life and was put onto this album by a friend, it appears to lack critical acclaim but at least for a jazz novice I found it superb and recommend it to anyone who wants a real lift from some fun bits of music. I believe Pee Wee Hunt is a great music hero that really needs to be rediscovered.

Pee Wee Hunt has always been one of my favorite Dixieland jazz bands, but his recordings have been difficult to acquire. This is a great CD with 28 tracks, containing some classics like Muskrat Ramble, Basin Street Blues, and Milenberg Joys, as well as the the title hit. High recommended if you like dixieland.
