Title: Excellent McKinney's Cotton Pickers/Don Redman sessions...
Review: The first recordings on this 3rd CD of McKinney's Cotton Pickers complete recordings on the European Classics label are of McKinney's Cotton Pickers with leader Don Redman from 30 to 31, the 2nd half of the CD from 39-40 are sessions that Redman recorded with his own band. Oversall this CD is very pleasing and McKinney's Cotton Pickers are always "hot," and Redman's arrangements for his later sessions are amazing, making this CD easilt recommended. However I would start with "McKinney's Cotton Pickers 1928-1929" first. All three CD's of their work on the classics label are highly recommended.
