A 24-track collection of impossibly rare jazz sides from the first Chicago-based African-American bands to record. Kicking off with the 1922 test pressing by the mysterious
Sunset Band
, the collection brings together rarities from
Elgar's Creole Orchestra
,
Fess Williams & His Joy Boys
Carroll Dickerson's Savoy Orchestra
Walter Barnes & His Creolians
, and
Oliver Cobb & His Rhythm Kings
. The transfers are dodgy in spots, but considering the age and rarity of these sides, it can be overlooked. A fascinating collection of music that deserves a much wider hearing. ~ Cub Koda
