FIVE LP Box set of HISTORY OF CLASSIC JAZZ. Riverside SDP II.

Long playing micro groove. NYC NY RIVERSIDE. 1956

LPs are NEAR MINT

BOOKLET IS NEAR MINT

Box is VG+

The 60 selections are divided into ten categories: Backgrounds
(including African music, a sermon and marching music), Ragtime (both
piano rolls and solo recordings), Blues, New Orleans Style, Boogie
Woogie, South Side Chicago, Chicago Style, Harlem, New York Style and
New Orleans Revival. The performances contain many highlights (nearly
every selection is a gem) and, although emphasizing the 1920s, they do
not neglect later developments in Dixieland. The informative booklet
is also a major asset. It's a highly recommended acquisition even to
collectors who may already have the majority of these recordings.
