For
the last five years of the 1930s the Bob Crosby Orchestra enjoyed
immense popularity. This all-white Dixieland band devoted most
of its efforts to reproducing Chicago and New Orleans jazz from
the previous decade.
The
arrangements are executed with great accuracy and feature such
luminaries as Yank Lawson, Bob Haggart, Charlie Spivak and Billy
Butterfield. Over the last few years there has been a mass of
similar compilations issued and the collector of jazz from the
1930s and 40s has been spoilt for choice. In the case of ‘Dixieland
Shuffle’ whilst it is a satisfying performance, obviously heavy
on vocals, I feel the main interest it generates will come from
specialized collectors. Having said that the quality of recording
is excellent and as the notes say ‘Naxos employed a number of
respected restorers’ and their expertise has paid off. That alone
may encourage a wider audience to listen to cleaned-up versions
of such crowd pleasers as ‘South Rampart Street Parade’ and Savoy
Blues to name but two of the variety of titles included.
