Compilation LP from the New Orleans Dukes of Dixieland revivalist jazz band formed in the late 1940s. They were noted for their successful 'marching' albums. (US:10)
“Too many bands play Dixieland like it was just a dose of medicine they have to swallow each night; The Dukes don't. They obviously get a tremendous wallop out of their music, and it comes clear and sharp on this collection that The Dukes combine enthusiasm with enormous ability.”
“This is Dixieland at its best and purest. For example, listen to The Dukes version of Saints, and many others. Of course, these artists are long gone now, but they remain alive on this recording.” “Not the best musicians to ever play Dixie, but the enthusiasm and the attention to the recording process make this a must have.”
