REVIEW “It's a small group by orchestra standards, just enough to do justice to these classic orchestral. Some are Scott Joplin chestnuts like `The Entertainer' and `Maple Leaf Rag.' Others come from Jelly Roll Morton's stash (`Winin' Boy Blues'), or you might be familiar with `St. Louis Tickle' via Dave Van Ronk's guitar arrangement. All are brought to life on this recording at least half a century after their heyday.This is an exceptionally soothing disc, a vist with old friends who have lost none of their vigor. 17 years passed between the recording of Parts I ('71) and II ('88), but the quality remains consistent throughout. The latter recordings feature the welcome addition of some bluesy vocals by John Robichaux in . William Russell's glorious violin is a particular favorite, sentimental at timesa (`Purple Rose of Cairo'), while crisp and stepping with the rest of the band on other songs.” (Mary Armstrong — SingOut!) |
