(4 out of 5 stars)

"This jazz band from Australia "New Wolverine Jazz Orchestra" plays the music of Bix Beiderbecke. The group produces their own transcriptions of arrangements from original classic recordings of the 1920s and 1930s wherever possible, and playing them on vintage instruments.This recording celebrates jazz on and along the mighty Mississippi River, from New Orleans up to the Upper Mississippi with seldom heard pieces that are real gems. I have heard this band live several times and highly recommend their work. They are lively as well as accurate in their interpretation of Bix style jazz. There are also nice write ups about the history of the selections with the cd. Thumbs up!"
