Alongside Robert Parker's excellent compilations on ABC, this import disc of late-'20s highlights qualifies as one of the best ways to dive into some classic jazz. Giving up a side's worth of material to Earl Hines and Tiny Parnham, the mix also includes two cuts apiece by the Missourians, Charlie Johnson, Jungle Town Stompers, and Musical Stevedores. And while the early incarnation of Hines' big band is impressive, the real highlights come by way of the Missourians' flag-waver "Ozark Mountain Blues" and the Stompers' beautifully arranged "African Jungle"; the fine banjo player Elmer Snowden is featured with both the Stompers and Musical Stevedores. A top-notch trip back to the land of the Charleston. ~ Stephen Cook, All Music Guide
