Whoo, boy. This is some old time, rag time, raggedy jazz here. Sounds like it, too. As noted throughout previous reviews and as one is no doubt aware if you are even considering buying this CD, this is a historic set of tunes all in one place, which is convenient. And the digital remastering to CD is serviceable and adequate enough, but it is apparent that they didn't have much to work with. The sound ranges from tinny to muddy and everything in between. The songs themselves are enjoyable, but none of them has a distinctive sort of sound or melody and they all tend to run together after a while. I got pretty tired of listening to it before long. Personally, this kind of music and these old time recordings just don't do much for me. I can only ever listen to it when it is background music for some other activity and I don't really have to "listen" to it. But even when it is background music, it never really does anything other than distract me occasionally. Yes, these songs and recordings are collectible for the jazz enthusiast and music collector, maybe even the occasional music/jazz historian, but for me, this is one CD set that will spend a lot of time on my shelf and not in my CD player.
