"A wonderful 24-track collection of swing recordings cut for the Vocalion label between 1928 ('Bugle Call Rag' by Benny Goodman's Whoopee Makers) and 1936 (Don Redman 's 'Lazy Weather'). Sandwiched in between are stellar tracks from Taft Jordan & the Mob, Luis Russell & His Orchestra, Benny Goodman's Modernists, the Harlem Hot Shots, Benny Carter & His Orchestra, Joe Haymes & His Orchestra, the Blue Rhythm Band, Henry Allen & His Orchestra and Billy Banks' Chicago Rhythm Kings. An excellent collection that sheds some light on some tracks that usually don't show up on compact disc. A must for all hot jazz fans."
