Amazon.com essential recording
When cornetist King Oliver invited Louis Armstrong to leave New Orleans and join the Creole Jazz Band in Chicago in 1922, he completed one of the greatest bands in jazz history. This CD includes the 1923 Gennett and Paramount recordings, the world's introduction to the spirited rhythm and inspired contrapuntal improvisation of New Orleans music, highlighted by the dual cornet breaks of Oliver and Armstrong. The CD also includes Armstrong's 1924 recordings with the Red Onion Jazz Babies, some matching him with Sidney Bechet, the wonderful soprano saxophone pioneer, and the classic blues singer Alberta Hunter. --Stuart Broomer

Customer Reviews:
Horrid sound. .......2006-01-28
This is one of the most overly-filtered CDs I have ever heard. The Gennett sides often get dissed for being poorly recorded. It is reissues like this that give them a bad name. They are actually very lively recordings, but you'd never know it from listening to this dismal effort. Milestone has filtered every bit of scratch out -- and a tremendous amount of music was lost along with it. Dull, bland, lifeless, boxy -- any of these words could describe this reissue. I suspect they started with Nick Perls' work on the 1974 Herwin reissue and began filtering from there.
Don't waste your money on this awful CD.
Still Is Listening Pleasure.......2005-07-09
I will probably get the Challenge set as the prior reviewer mentioned because I want more of this band and also like John Davies's work..you should know that JSP's Breaking Out Of New Orleans box has 4 of the 7 Red Onion Babies tracks on my Jazz Heritage(licensed from Milestone) release we are reviewing here and all I can say is that I enjoy the music to the max.I am assuming the Jazz Heritage and Milestone sound is the same(?).
Breaking Out Of New Orleans is a must buy for those enjoying this genre as well.
Superceded, in part.......2005-07-08
This CD contains the Gennett, not the Okeh sides, less than half of the seminal early 78's recorded by Joe Oliver & Louis Armstrong. The two-CD set on Challenge includes all of these important early recordings of African American jazz music, re-mastered by the late great John R.T. Davies. To my ears, the Challenge set offers enormously better sound quality. And, oddly enough, it's cheaper on Amazon than the Milestone product, at least at this writing. But caveat emptor! I have seen a bootleg of the Challenge set floating around the used jazz bins in Chicago.
However, enthusiasts of the young Louis Armstrong may want to consider this CD for its inclusion of the Red Onion Jazz Babies sides, prototypes, you might say, of the Hot Five's and Hot Seven's. I don't know where else these might be available on CD. And these transfers, for some reason, are a bit more listenable on the Milestone issue than are the King Oliver numbers.
Lousy Sound -- Get "Complete Set".......2004-09-05
You can hear from the Windows Media samples that the tracks have been filtered to death. A much more vibrant transcription of the same recordings is the wonderful "King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band: The Complete Set".
Lively Leads & No Hiss.......2001-10-25
'Louis Armstrong And King Oliver' should be considered a preview of the Hot Fives & Sevens that was to come. Armstrong's first recordings with King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band are more ensemble oriented. He's the second cornet to King Oliver's cornet. (The cornet was a predecessor to the modern trumpet.) The double cornet breaks make for some lively dancehall jazz. . . This one also has seven tracks from the Red Onion Jazz Babies. They hail from Armstrong's first stint in New York City. "Cake Walking Babies From Home" is some of the earliest magic that Armstrong put to wax. This version is worth the price of admission. . . The sound quality for these 1923/1924 recordings is terrific. The early 90's compact disc are a lot better than the 1980's cassette of this material. This release does justice to the early recorded work of Louis Armstrong.

Customer Reviews:
Rykodisc should know better.......2007-03-31
Rykodisc should know better than to let their good name be associated with this irresponsible release of poorly-packaged timeless classic jazz. Most dates given are incorrect for one thing. Bessie Smith, for another, is only represented on one track which features neither Louis Armstrong nor King Oliver (so much for the misleading sub-title on the front cover). Worst of all, many tracks here have been transfered at SLOW SPEEDS from whatever sources were used, resulting in longer track times and, more importantly, LOWER PITCHES than the originals. After all of this then, you'd think that they could give you a full CD's worth of material. Sorry - this thing clocks in at a measly 33:11. Those who appreciate classic early jazz recordings should find this same material elsewhere from more reputable sources, like Milestone / Fantasy, or buy this flawed disc for peanuts. Jim Bonevich - Kalamazoo, MI
A great collection for fans of 1920's jazz.......2003-09-02
This album is a great collection of rare tracks featuring Louis Armstrong, King Oliver, and Bessie Smith.
Although Bessie Smith only appears on track 5, the album is worth the money just to get the songs with both Armstrong and King Oliver.
Of the 11 tracks:
- 6 of them feature both Armstrong and King Oliver
- 2 feature Armstrong and his Hot Five
- 1 features Armstrong and his Hot Seven
- 1 features King Oliver and his Dixieland Syncopators (no Armstrong)
- 1 features Bessie Smith without either Oliver or Armstrong
All the tracks were recorded between 1923-1927
Highly Recommended!
mixed bag.......2002-05-22
Despite the title, only a few bands have Armstrong playing with Oliver, and Bessie Smith appears with piano and bass only, not with either Armstrong or Oliver. Most tunes are either Oliver after Armstrong left, or Louis with the Hot Five. Some of the recordings, like the Hot Five ones, are widely known, while other bands are more obscure. Discography and personnel information are complete. This is a CD for the true lover of '20s jazz, and the rare takes are great for that -- but anyone wanting those will doubtless already have the Hot Five numbers, so they're duplicative. On balance, this is a valuable disk for a real '20s jazz fan.
