'There are perhpas only a handful of blues musicians with as much to offer as Robert Wilkins. His breadth of material is practically unmatched among his peers and he is one of the few artists who puts a premium on the individuality of his songs. His effortless command of different styles and captivating vocals are masterful. Classic performances abound.' ~ press

'This groundbreaking series brings together some of the greatest performances of early jazz, illustrating that before jazz became a listener's music of improvised solos it was the rhythm-driven dance music of America, the rock and roll of its day. This album shows the incredible variety of the 1920s jazz by bringing together diverse, often obscure masterpieces by legendary small groups and large bands from both city and country. Highlighted is the rich regional flavor of early American jazz with showpieces by territory bands such as Ross De Luxe Syncopaters, Taylor's Dixie Serenaders, and Roy Johnson's Happy Pals along with classics by the pioneer New Orleans band of Louis Dumaine, Sam Morgan and much more. This is an entertaining and illuminating exploration of early jazz which traces its roots back to marching bands, ragtime and vaudeville.' ~ press

it's really fun hearing kids sing these songs & it's very likely you might enjoy them as well. surely a top contender for one of the coolest children's records ever. don't sleep on the even better venerable volume 2 either. thx to lemmy for saving this one from the abyss
