Of the three sets, Early Jazz Greats contains perhaps the most impressive array of well-known characters from American musical mythology, whose contributions continued from the ‘20s and ‘30s well into the 1970s and beyond. Among the stellar members of this who’s who of jazz royalty are: Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Mary Lou Williams, Sidney Bechet, Bix Beiderbecke, Jelly Roll Morton, Earl Hines, James P. Johnson, Joe “King” Oliver, Joe Venuti, Bennie Goodman and many more. Many bios have details about recording history, including labels.
Also, while they last, get one very nice promotional merchandising poster with the purchase of 12 card sets. Beautiful printings also designed by Crumb, these are super nice, with varnish over the card set images. We are hearing from accounts that customers are clamoring for these.
