This is a good if slightly frustrating compilation from
Holland-based Timeless Records. On the one hand, it's got all of
this great jazz from the dawn of the music, the likes of the
Original Memphis Melody Boys, the Original New Orleans Rhythm
Kings, Isham Jones, and so on; on the other, it's totally without
annotation, except for referring to British jazz legend Chris
Barber's 78 rpm collection as the source for the material at hand.
The transfers have been done well enough, as well, and the material
-- most of it instrumental and all of it Dixieland-oriented, which
is no surprise as, even beyond the history of the music, Barber's
whole career was built around Dixieland's British offshoot, "trad"
jazz -- sounds fine. But listeners will have to fill in the blanks
as far as release dates and other information; it's great listening
(which is essential, of course) but hardly edifying in any way
beyond the ears. ~ Bruce Eder
