This is a nice sounding pressing of this excellent album, but the Analog Spark repressing sounds even better. If you can't afford it go with that pressing.

Edited one year agoThe only thing to critique on this album is that you wish it had been recorded 5-10 years later so that recording technology could have delivered this wonderful music in slightly higher fidelity. But having said that there are still times this 1954 recording leaps out of the speakers at you with power and New Orleans swagger. And to be honest there’s nothing really wrong with it - it’s just a touch boxy compared to recordings made a few years later.
Other than that this is fantastic jazz romp through the songs of WC Handy and should find a home in all traditional jazz buff’s collections.
I did read that the original master tapes for this session could even have been thrown away!!!!! at some stage in the past and that some reissues have come from back up sources, even needle drops, so I am not sure of the sources used for this one.
Vinyl clean, flat and quiet.
