- Louis Armstrong is an American icon, the first great soloist and conceptual play-maker of the new music, an artistic innovator who became a popular entertainer, recognised everywhere in the world. Here he plays the immortal St. Louis Blues, the best-known of W. C. Handy's compositions, giving it a zesty quality, allowing his exceptional instrumental facility full reign

- The Charleston Chasers were a white recording group, Red Nichols providing the careful trumpet lead, with rubbery trombone by Miff Mole, something of a star in twenties New York.
- Bix Beiderbecke, the cornetist from Davenport, Iowa, was destined for a safe middle-class professional career. Instead, he fell for the lure of jazz and was soon on his way, first in Chicago and then on to New York.
- Sidewalks Of New York is by Duke Ellington's great 1940 band and reveals the 'wa-wa' trombone of Tricky Sam Nanton (who achieved his effects by using a plumber's rubber plunger as a mute.
- Fats Waller was a favourite with theatre and cinema audiences everywhere, who sometimes overlooked his superb keyboard skills. He was also a composer and soloist of genius. Cheatin' On Me is quite sedate, while Ain't Misbehavin' (his best-known composition, with Zutty Singleton beavering away on the drums) is from the film 'Stormy Weather'.
Expressive, engaging, virtuosic, challenging, energetic or dynamic - all the adjectival attributes of jazz perfection are here, each track fit to rank with the best in their category.
