The reviews above just about sum it up: great collection, nice selection of songs, and I hear the booklet is great. I bought my box set from another seller and it came without the book. Anyone wishing to sell one or know of a place to get it, please contact me!

Louis Prima - His Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Dixieland
by: Louis Prima

Release Date April 05, 2004
I got this CD for two things Hey ba ba re bop and My Cucuzza. My mom had these songs on a 45. We played it so much the 45 broke! We know all the words and sang them all the time. When my parents had their 50th wedding anniversary and we had a big family party, we got this CD to play. What a sing-along that was. Louie Prima is so electric. You can't be sad or sit still. Just buy this CD. You won't be sorry.

The Complete Johnny Mercer Songbook

CD-Charts > Music > Dixieland
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 03, 1998
All three discs are great, but the third (instrumental and jazzy)is outstanding. Old enough to be exposed to the popular Mercer tunes and understandingly biased regarding the commercialization of his stuff, I was thrilled to hear these renditions by the great artists selected for this disc. Worth the price for just the last disc-so consider the other two as bonuses.

The Drum Battle: Jazz at the Philharmonic

CD-Charts > Music > Dixieland
by: Gene Krupa

Release Date August 17, 1999
Who could complain about Krupa and Rich? The only problem is that there is not enough of it. It didn't last very long, but what was there was very good.

Putumayo Presents: New Orleans Brass

CD-Charts > Music > Dixieland
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 23, 2007
Did you make it to Mardi Gras this year? I did, although I never left Pennsylvania to get there. All it took was slipping "New Orleans Brass" into the stereo, and Bourbon Street materialized around me in all its festive splendor.

"New Orleans Brass" is another fine offering from Putumayo, the world music label you want scouring the Earth to find the finest in ethnic and geo-specific sounds. In this case, New Orleans was the destination, and just shy of a dozen brass bands -- some with singers, some without -- fill the streets with that distinctive joyful sound.

This is irresistable stuff, and you'll only need to listen for a few moments before you're breaking out your beads and your mouth is watering for a little post-Katrina ... Read More:

Honey in the Horn/That Honey Horn Sound

CD-Charts > Music > Dixieland
by: Al Hirt

Release Date July 27, 1999
I just got back into playing my trumpet after several years and this cd is one of the reasons why. Beautiful music! Al Hirt is a master at what he does. His trumpet is played so smoothly, with feeling and great ability. I thoroughly enjoy the cd and plan to buy as many other of his as I can find.

Singing in the Rain

CD-Charts > Music > Dixieland
by: Cliff "Ukulele Ike" Edwards

Release Date December 02, 1995
I wish more folks would discover how wonderful Cliff Edwards was. At times his delivery is a little corny, but that was the style back then. When he sings in a more contemporary style his voice and his delivery is charming to the point of being heart rending. What a wonderful talent.
