Attention, ukulele lovers! Based on the success of its Legends of Accordion compilation, Rhino Records has brought out this memorable 18-track set of tunes featuring the uke. Produced by Jim Beloff (author of the near-definitive ukulele coffee-table book The Ukulele: A Visual History), Legends contains predictable artists such as Tiny Tim, Cliff "Ukulele Ike" Edwards, Arthur Godfrey, and Roy Smeck, along with lesser-known greats such as Ohta San, King Benny Nawahi, and George Formby. Sure--like its accordion predecessor--the collection is a once-over-lightly pastiche of artists and styles, but for most of your uke needs, it'll more than do. True enthusiasts would also be wise to check out Smeck's classic solo album, Roy Smeck Plays Hawaiian Guitar, Banjo, Ukulele, and Guitar. --Jason VerlindeCustomer Reviews:

Album Description
One of the all-time titans of the jazz piano, Earl "Fatha" Hines took the stride piano style to a new level, playing unusual accents, right hand octaves, and taking wild chances without losing the beat. His big band was one of the pacesetters of the early 1930s, and he was a brilliant soloist as well. This exciting collection includes the critical cuts from the first third of Hines's 60-year career, focusing on his early days as the king of the great Chicago scene, and featuring both the genius of his solo playing and his recordings at the helm of his wonderful big bands.

Customer Reviews:
Superlative jazz collection.......2007-01-23
The 40 songs of the collection, which spans DECCA's golden jazz age (1926-'59), are not in chronological or logical order. This is a hardship only if one is trying to study a year-by-year progression. Output level for all tracks is solid, remastering nothing less than superb. No heavy filtering here, no added echo or reprocessing of any kind. Source material is the best available.
DECCA's BLACK LEGENDS OF JAZZ is an absolutely great album. Highly recommended.

Great early compilation.......2003-05-27
The only negative thing about this CD is that the sound quality is mediocre on a few tracks, but then we're talking about some pretty old recordings, so I'll still give it five stars. This is one CD that you'll be playing again and again.

Great Music--Wish there was more--poor documentation.......2004-02-03
The booklet that comes with the CD has wonderful photographs of Tito throughout his career, along with photos of people he worked with--Celia Cruz, La Lupe, Charlie Palmieri, Ray Barretto, Cheo Feliciano--his arch-rival, Tito Rodriguez--and more. Articles in English and Spanish document his life, his music, and his character. The discography lists his LPs--up to 104 in 1994, when the booklet was published.
My one complaint is the poor documentation of the recordings. I would like to have information such as: when were these songs recorded? who were the musicians? who were the singers? etc. The singers--Celia Cruz, La Lupe, Santitos Colon, and Vicentico Valdes--are listed, but not which songs they sing!
I've been able to figure some of them out--Vicentico Valdes sings "La Gloria Eres Tu." La Lupe emotes and wails "Que te pedi." Santitos Colon sings the tender boleros, "Mirame Mas," "Te Desafio," and "Ay, Carino." He also demonstrates his skills as a sonero on "Ban Ban Quere," "Mi Bomba Sono," and "Juventud del Presente." Celia Cruz is heard on "La Plena Bomba Me Llama." There are also some great instrumentals, "El Rey del Timbal," Picadillo, and "Fiesta a la King."
