| 1. |  | Ken Burns's Jazz: The Story of American Music
by Various Artists
Price: $39.97
Customer Review:
Let me just say that I'm not too impressed with the series "Ken Burns' Jazz." It was a pretty hack job and really didn't cover all the bases in my opinion. To me, Burns is a very misguided figure and hasn't really done the research about jazz, but I'll save that argument for another time. The music... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

by Louis Armstrong
Price: $25.99
Customer Review:
As the review by Comic Online here - well worth consulting - reminds us: the historical importance and sheer delight of this music vastly outweighs issues of presentation. If you cue up, say, "Potato Head Blues" - and can spend more than a moment or two critically assessing the cleanliness of the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 4. |  | The Best of Pete Fountain
by Pete Fountain
Price: $10.99
Customer Review:
Having seen Pete Fountain in concert (before Katrina), I was delighted to see this CD on sale. Was not disappointed! Love the walkin' tempo of "Just A Closer Walk," and the romp of the high energy Dixieland tunes. Will certainly recommend this for lovers of delicious "licorice stick" talent. | 5.0 / 5.0

| 6. |  | Atlantic Rhythm & Blues 1947-1974
by Various Artists
Price: $89.98
Customer Review:
This is as good as music gets. The first CD is an introductory one, with some dated material, but once you get beyond the 40's, every song is a winner. This contains several Greatest Hits sets all in one place. Just brilliant stuff, to which I'd give my highest recommendation. | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I'm no expert on the era, but I feel compelled to review this CD simply based on the hours of listening pleasure it's provided.
I stumbled onto The Nighhawks after seeing The Aviator and deciding I just had to get my hands on some of "that music." This CD was my first buy. It's the best CD I... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Actually I just ordered some second hand books about achitecture as Christmas gifts, and as a last thought added for myself a CD with some New Orleans Jazz from Preservation Hall, which I visited a few years ago. I was very surprised when about a week later I received one separate box all the way... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
