Customer Review: Let me just say that I'm not too impressed with the series "Ken Burns' Jazz." It was a pretty hack job and really didn't cover all the bases in my opinion.

Customer Review: As the review by Comic Online here - well worth consulting - reminds us: the historical importance and sheer delight of this music vastly outweighs issues of presentation.

Customer Review: Having seen Pete Fountain in concert (before Katrina), I was delighted to see this CD on sale. Was not disappointed! Love the walkin' tempo of "Just A Closer Walk," and the romp of the high energy Dixieland tunes. Will certainly recommend this for lovers of delicious "licorice stick" talent.

Customer Review: There's very little I can add to the previous reviews except to say that this was the reason I bought a CD player years ago. More out of curiosity than anything else, I happened to pick up a copy of "Louis Prima: the Capitol Collectors Series" in its audiocassette format back in the early Nineties.... more info
Customer Review: the reason i HAD to buy this CD, was to get mine back! i brought this to a house-warming dinner party & everyone LOVED it - including the host. Now they can enjoy Louie Prima & Keely Smith anytime they want - and I got my CD back. :) you'll find yourself singin' & swingin'... more info
