Essential Ry Cooder!

Beautiful timepieces from the era of Bix Beiderbecke and Jelly Roll Morton. If this were Ry Cooder's only recording he would be legendary, but fortunately for us, Ry spends his life discovering and sharing timeless musical treasures. One of Ry's most accessable excursions into realms forgotten or obscure, Jazz' highlights are, 'Big Bad Bill', 'The Pearls/Tia Juana', 'The Dream' with Earl 'Fatha' Hines on piano, 'Flashes','Shine', and 'Nobody', not to slight the other fine tracks here. A thoroughly enjoyable album of Jazz Americana with a cast of peerless players.
