Review

Duke Robillard's history of jazz cuts off around the time Charlie Christian died. He has the vocabulary, tone, and unrelenting swing of guys like Christian, T-Bone Walker, and Tiny Grimes. This attractively- priced and generously full set is mostly culled from two individual CDs that found Robillard (a founder member of Roomful of Blues) in the company of like-minded guys, such as tenor- sax man Scott Hamilton and pianist Al Copley. They mix originals like "Twist Top" and "Jim Jam" with standards like "Sweet Georgia Brown" and "I'll Never Be the Same." Sure, it's revivalism, but it's a style well worth reviving. --Colin Escott
