Disc 1 of 2.  I've not read the associated book (nor even, at this point, any of the accompanying essay in the liner notes), so I'm just judging this as a listening experience.  I'm one who does enjoy listening to that hot rhythm music from time to time and I don't mind the audio defects of vintage recordings.  That said, most of this disc reminded me of some "Farmyard Frolic" 1920's animated cartoon in which all this music would be played by rhythmically bouncing cows, pigs and chickens (I'll let you decide which ones play  the trumpets, bones and saxes).  I will have to give a nod to Paul Whiteman's "Sensation Stomp".  It's track 16 here and that was the first one which really sparked some interest from me, due I guess to the noticeable professionalism of the whole affair.  Things start getting a little better around track 18, "After You've Gone" by the California Ramblers and then by track 23 we're right in my ballpark with the Bud Freeman Famous Orchestra's "Shimmie-Sha Wabble" and the disc closes out with the the wonderful Miss Lee Wiley.  The voice of Miss Lee Wiley, as the kids nowadays so eloquently put it, floats my boat -- quite -- so if she wishes to confess that she has a crush on me, sweetie pie, who am I to stop her?

Perhaps Disc 2 will be more to my liking.

Lew Tabackin - Tenority: I wish Tabackin would tour around here, although I was fortunate to see most of a trio set at Smalls a few years ago.  Having the bell of his horn pointed at me from a few feet away was intense.

I saw Lew Tabackin as part of a Sonny Rollins tribute concert put on by SFJazz many years ago.  He shared the bill with Joe Lovano, Joshua Redman and David Sanchez.  Great show!
