Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Strictly Jive by Chick Webb.......2007-03-08

This is very good "big band" music, but not
as "hot jazz" as I expected.

3 out of 5 stars Star studded cast.......2005-09-10

Chick Webb, drummer and band leader, is the headline persona of this compilation. Lots of tunes, a number of them standards, and some more original. Sometimes emphasizing the drumming and sometimes not. Therefore 3 stars.

Co-musicians of Mr. Webb are Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Jordan. Chick Webb is to me known as the now forgotten competitor of Gene Krupa. For the afiniciados, Webb is the slightly better of the two. I would have liked more Webb and less of standards.

Though, it is still a good record with some really delightful singing and occassionally an extra drum roll.

5 out of 5 stars Just like a night at the Savoy.......2001-04-06

Ella Fitzgerald is a featured performer on this collection and she doesn't appear until cut number 4 (Sing Me A Swing Song). The first three songs are instrumental and really set the tone for what I imagine would be similar to an actual set list from a night's performance at the Savoy. Eventually Ella's reputation would overshadow Chick Webb and his orchestra. This makes the search for a recording of both good sound quality and an excellent representation of Chick Webb and his band while they were the headliners, difficult. There are many Ella Fitzgerald recordings so, if you want an album that defines Chick Webb and his band at their best - this is it!
