Whether or not the Original Dixieland Jazz Band were the actual
"creators of jazz" as the cover on this West End compilation
asserts is up for serious debate, but one cannot deny the value of
this budget-priced Essential Collection. Here are 49 tracks,
arranged chronologically from 1917 through the early '30s. The band
underwent changes during that time, but the music was the same.
Also of note is how many tunes that are now standards in the New
Orleans repertoire were written by members of this fine outfit:
"Ostrich Walk," "Tiger Walk," "Sensation Rag," and many others.
This double-disc set is essentially a non-remastered reissue of
Avid's earlier collection of the same name that was released in
2001. ~ Thom Jurek
