--- Quote ---I have recently been watching the Ken Burns 10-part story of Jazz. I found it exceptionally well done.

Hi Jean, I think so too. There's been some criticism of it from the Jazz community, but it's a great introduction to the genre.
--- Quote ---That's a good one, eric. I have it on Volume 3 of "The Complete Hot Five And Hot Seven Recordings."

Thanks Stuart, I'll check it out. There were whole bunch of great Jazz reissues that came out back then.
--- Quote ---I think that's Earl Hines on piano.

You could be right, bnemerov. Maybe someone with a Jazz discography could chime in.

--- Quote from: bnemerov on February 04, 2022, 09:14:53 AM ---I think that's Earl Hines on piano. Mrs. Armstrong couldn't swing a piano break like that.

You are correct, Bruce. Here's the Wiki page and a couple of others:

There were several "Complete" sets released back in the early 2000s, JSP and Sony among them. It looks like both are still available.

“Louis Armstrong—Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man 1923 -1934” is another great collection.

Thanks guys, I made the change.

Regarding the Ken Burns Jazz series. "There's been some criticism of it from the Jazz community.."
Thanks Eric. I'd be interested in hearing their take on the series. Technically, I think the series is amazing. Content-wise, I stand to be educated I suppose.
