| Rolling Stone (12/9/99, p.81)
- 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...loaded with remarkable, rare live and studio tracks....This anthology serves as a great historical primer..."Entertainment Weekly (9/17/99, p.81)
- "...The less heralded, far earthier music of L.A.'s African-American jazz community gets its props on this eye-opening four-CD set that touches on the work of progenitors...blues-based stylists...swing giants...and bop pioneers..." - Rating: A- JazzTimes (1-2/00, pp.109-10)
- "...There is some fine music on these four CDs, along with some curiosities....What emerges in this portrait...is a scene that...had its remarkable moments and important personalities....'makes the case' for L.A.'s seminal locale in jazz's evolution." Living Blues (1-2/00, pp.79-80)
- "...a jazz-lover's delight....It's hard to imagine a blues or jazz fan who won't enjoy every minute of [this album]." |
