5.0 out of 5 stars excellent mastering by Ted Kendall
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2019

Another outstanding release from the fine folks at AVID to add to my collection .
The Jimmy Yancey and Meade Lux Lewis recordings sound great thanks to Ted Kendall , especially the one EP that features Louis Bellson as accompaniest.
The Albert Ammons tracks were a little different as there is a backup band and were not as well recorded originally as the others.
Less interesting to my ears but absolutely worth it as the one track includes one of the only recordings of Albert Ammons with his son , Tenor Sax Giant Gene Ammons .
Guitarist Ike Perkins on the track lets loose with some great sounds looking to the future.
Nice notes and artwork too

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly strong audio! great vintage boogie woogie piano!

I was awestruck by the remastering job on these discs. Sometimes older recordings of boogie woogie piano sound a bit "tinkling." NOT these. They are robust, with lots of bottom. Just incredibly dynamic sound. I was especially blown away by the 2 mid-1950s Meade Lux Lewis albums included on the first disc. Put that disc on a good home stereo system, turn the volume up, and you'll think Meade Lux Lewis is there is the living room with you. You can practically FEEL - not just hear - him pounding the keys, especially his left hand. If you like boogie woogie piano, grab this one! (And play it loud)

Two GREAT 1950s albums by Meade Lux Lewis, plus vintage Ammons, Johnson and Yancey....how can you go wrong? In addition, the original album liner notes, the original cover art and Bill Russell's 1939 essay on boogie woogie is printed in the booklet. This release is a superb introduction to boogie woogie piano, and a gem even for more seasoned listeners.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not good in selling boogie-woogie music without any clips at all.
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2019
Verified Purchase
The information listed says it is Masters of boogie-woogie PIANO music and it isn't for the most part on disk one. It has selections with all sorts of other instruments. Only three selections on the entire first disk did we like. We were fed up and didn't want to play the second disk because there is no sense to keep this CD if we don't like hardly any on the first of the two disks. It would have helped so much if I could have listened to clips of the music like other types of music have but there is almost none in this category of music at all. It is all like buying a pig in a poke. I won't buy another one of this category again, at least not at Amazon. Their return policy has been very useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Die alten Meister bringen es
Reviewed in Germany on January 6, 2019

Die meisten Aufnahmen dieser Doppel-CD besitze ich auf Vinyl. Ich war gespannt, wie die restaurierten Aufnahmen klingen. Kurz und bündig: Runderneuert, keinerlei Rauschen oder Knistern, frischer und unverfälschter Sound. Auf einmal hört man Bass und Schlagzeug, die auf den alten Platten total im Hintergrund waren. Wenn ich bedenke, was man damals für die Platten bezahlt hat: Hier gibt es Boogie vom Feinsten zum Schleuderpreis. All die jungen Epigonen von heute, die glauben, Boogie Woogie einfach so runterspielen zu können, müssten sich bei diesen "alten" Aufnahmen eine Scheibe abschneiden: Die seelenvollen Spielweisen von Jimmy Yancey, Pete Johnson, Albert Ammons und Meade Lux werden mit den beiden CDs hervorragend demonstriert.

Many aficionados of jazz are familiar with the great "boogie" pianists and their compatriots who played "barrelhouse" or "stride" all different genres to the expert. Many of these pianists had recorded careers starting in the 1920s e.g.,Willie The Lion, Pinetop Smith etc. The notable period for "Boogie Woogie" was probably a bit later into the 1940s when the Ammons and Johnson recordings here were produced.

The earliest recordings here are those of Jimmy Yancey (1939). There are few recordings by Yancey, and everyone is a treasure. My favourite is "At The Window" (not included here). Yancey is almost beyond category. His style is unique. Of course his main "career" was groundsman at the Chicago White Sox baseball ground. He got the odd job playing piano in drinking parlours or at rent parties. The recordings here are a valuable addition to other material available elsewhere. Both Lewis and Ammons were taxi drivers and part-time pianists before being commercially "discovered".

The Ammons / Johnson recordings are from the forties, obviously recorded for 78rpm (the L.P. wasn't available until the early 1950s). The Lewis recordings come from the mid 1950s, and were obviously cut for vinyl LP.

For anyone wanting a collection of "classic" piano music in the "Boogie" style this is a valuable asset. Overall there are 42 tracks; probably best not played in one sitting. By the way, these are not all piano solo recordings. Other instruments are on some of the tracks, but the majority are solo (duet) piano perhaps with drum accompaniment.

Finally the recordings have been cleaned up admirably by Avid engineers, and accompanying booklet first class.
