Festive, at times Ecstatic Dixieland.......2005-07-03

Great album but songs not same as LP.......2003-09-06

Good, happy Dixieland jazz........2003-04-16

Literally changed my musical interests for life..........2002-01-05

It's the infectious energy the young Brits in the band pour into their work and Ball's trademark bell-like trumpet sound, uncannily spot-on, always. Hearing this odd treatment of the sadly beautiful Russian folk melody... well, it works! It was and is magic.

But it isn't just one song or one album. It's in all their work. You don't find the long obligatory solos that so often mar the Dixieland performance. There are short solos and they are brilliant but Ball and the band are unique in the way they just get together and COOK. It's hard to not get involved. I especially like their cover of tunes that are not the traditional Dixie fare.

And finally, I wouldn't easily believe they are reading music. It's seems they are playing music, not vice versa. In my view, this is a very high degree of musicianship. The listener knows right away if you fail.

Customer Reviews:

A Good Mix of Jazz at a Reasonable Price.......2003-05-16

Compared to the other two History label box sets I have, The Cradle of Jazz and The Big Band Box, the recordings in From Swing to Bebop are more recent than the other two, and so the sound quality is also markedly improved, although by no means flawless by today's standards.

As in the other two, this box set gives a good overview of the leading musicians of the time with two CDs by each of Charlie Parker, Django Reinhardt, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Ben Webster, and three CDs of music by Fats Navarro. Notably absent is bebop legend Dizzy Gillespie, although Gillespie can be heard on a few of the tracks featuring other musicians.

This collection is heavier on swing than it is with bebop, and purists would probably find fault with some of the selections and ommissions. However, given the price, I think any jazz fan can easily supplement gaps left behind in From Swing to Bebop and still save a bundle of cash as compared to trying to buy the music by all of these artists individually.

When popular music was good, and good music popular.......2002-11-10

An education in big band music.......2001-05-03

I'm a new comer to the jazz scene and although listening to one collection won't put me shoulder to shoulder with the experts, it's a pretty good start.

Thanks to this collection, I am familiar with the styles of very famous big band names such as Benny Goodman and Cab Calloway, but also with artists I had never heard of such as Woody Herman and Stan Kenton.

Some of the music on these CDs is great, but some is pretty forgettable, while some is downright irritating. But due to the scope of the project this almost goes without saying.

The sound quality is generally acceptable and since the cost is only around a buck and a half per CD, even if you only like a tenth of the songs, you've gotten your money's worth.

Speaking for myself, I feel like I have taken a crash course in American pops from when my grandma was a young person and from this perspective, I'm really glad I bought it.

Great Deal.......2001-04-09

Also see the similarly priced "Cradle of Jazz" and "Great Vocalists of Jazz and Entertainment" collections by the German "History" label.

A Godsend.......2006-02-24

Yet another side of Louis.......2001-03-23

On "Louis And The Angels" (1957) he is accompanied by the Sy Oliver Orchestra and Choir who lean on the pop side, but in this case it works just fine. Billy Kyle, an All-Star staple, is on piano. You still have Louis' fantastic vocal delivery and trumpet flourishes as well. The choir of course adds an angelic quality that puts these songs in a different light than Louis' straight "good ol' good ones" jazz recordings. There's romance here too, with "You're A Heavenly Thing", "When Did You Leave Heaven" and "I Married An Angel". Louis is right at home with these tunes.

"Louis And The Good Book" (1958) reads much sweeter, with his All-Stars there to back him up, Trummy Young, Billy Kyle, Barrett Deams and others. Again the Sy Oliver Choir makes their appearance known as well. These sessions have a much heavier feel with meaningful tunes such as "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen" and "Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child", two subjects that Louis has dealt with his whole life. On the former, Louis' spoken introduction even makes an attempt to explain his choice to do this type of album. He tells of how there are times when you feel the need to look up. Funny, because as I listen I'm looking up at Louis right now and thanking him for yet another treasure.
