This is the one
jive rhapsodist | NYC, NY United States | 07/19/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you buy only one of these boxes - anyway, I think you're crazy if you don't buy all of them - this is the one you need. Fats Waller and His Rhythm were at their height during this period: still alive to challenges, still keeping it fresh. And the solo session of June 11, 1937 contains five of the greatest solo piano recordings of all time. So effortless, so musical and swinging. You also get a rare glimpse into the world of Waller's Big Band - not amazing, but very interesting. He toured with this group more often than his recording history would lead you to believe. I'm always tempted to go point by point on the Rhythm recordings - but I resist. Some of them are like candy; delicious and forgettable, or at least evanescent...but each one has its moment of the most perfect piano playing. More details? Why?"
THE COMPLETE FATS WALLER COLLECTION 5 BOX SETS

"THIS IS THE MOST COMPLETE FATS WALLER COLLECTION AVAILABLE BUT MORE TO MY PREFERENCE IT IS THE BEST SOUNDING AND IS AVAILABLE AT A REASONABLE PRICE. THE BLUEBIRD SETS ARE NOW QUITE EXPENSIVE AND DIFFICULT TO FIND (THEY WERE THE REFERENCE) BUT THIS CURRENT SET SOUNDS MUCH BETTER. RECOMMENDED WITHOUT RESERVATION. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW FATS WALLER YOU ARE MISSING A TREAT."
