The Birth of Dixieland
AgedFan | Calif | 05/17/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)

"If we consider Dixieland as a subset of '20's jazz, with a New Orleans origin, this band is one of the first and probably the most influential. Abbie Brunies (cornet) and Charlie Cordella (clarinet) are remarkable players and are more than ably assisted by other New Orleans stalwarts, including Leon Rapollo.



All sides are fine, but the really good ones (Pussy Cat Rag, Barataria, Maple Leaf Rag, Let Me Call You Sweetheart) are available elsewhere. Still, this is good stuff and can be enjoyed for listening as well as history.



The sound quality is very good and the album notes are worthwhile. I enjoyed this album very much."
