Title: Great overview of the era.
Review: This cd falls into the category 'if you only have one'; that is, if you only have one non-Ellington big band cd from the late 20s and early 30s, it would be difficult to find a better one this this. Redman more or less invented big band arrangements, so these are outstanding. The bands are outstanding, including those of F. Henderson, Armstrong, McKinney's Cotton Pickers and Redman's own band. Only the last 3 or 4 (of 25) tunes from the 2nd half of the 30s are a bit of a letdown but that's a small complaint.
