You MUST buy this !!!! July 10, 2009
Thomas J. Benek (Ocean city nj)
This is undoubtedly the best CD I've ever purchased... It really makes you feel good. Odd thing is...I'm usually into Heavy Rock music, but this CD is Awesome.!!!
Great Pre-WWII Music April 30, 2008
Deanimator (Rocky River, OH United States)
Fantastic '20s and '30s music. Fisher's rendition of "Deep Henderson" is wonderful, the equal of the version by "Ambrose and his Orchestra". "Lady of the Nile" is also a gem. Unlike others, I found Garrison Keillor's contributions to be charming. I first heard this CD when I borrowed it from the public library years ago. After all this time, I recently bought a copy, just for "Deep Henderson" and "Lady of the Nile".
If you can find a copy, it's well worth the money.
Everything old is new again January 3, 2006
Nosmo K. (Oshkosh, WI)
This CD brings some old classics of the '20s up to date, with arrangements that retain the flavor of the past, yet provide refreshing sounds for the new listener
In my opinion, this CD represents a fine addition to any jazz or popular mussic collection.
 Excellent recreation March 22, 2005

If you enjoy the dance orchestras of the pre-1934 era, you will enjoy this faithful recreation of that style. Three of the tracks are wasted with the "vocalizing" by Garrison Keillor, but otherwise there are 18 good tracks of enjoyable music.
Splendid Tunes for Great Times December 28, 2004

Oh, my...it just turns my stomach to see that this WONDERFUL album hasn't been reviewed yet!!! Well, I'm honored to be the first, in that case. Early jazz fans, take note: BUY THIS ALBUM!!! Get it while you can - outside of Amazon, it can be a tough find, and oh, Lordie - it's a real keeper.
Rob Fisher and his Coffee Club Orchestra have caught the sound of the 1920's and 1930's, and most generously share it with us. The band members are marvelous, period instruments are incorporated, and the selected tunes are all gems. Oh, and Garrison Keillor treats us to his unique vocal talents in three of the pieces. What more could one ask for?
Standouts? Well, they all stand out, actually - but if I must... "How About Me" (a contagious Charleston, which, in its enthusiasm, belies its lyrics, not featured in this rendition), "Stampede" (a must-listen - it's too good even to describe), "You Took Advantage of Me" (wherein the wonderful Andy Stein, on violin, shines as only he can), "Doo Wacka Doo" (probably the best arrangement and performance of this novelty imaginable), and "Doin' the Frog". Every piece that accompanies these is just perfect, as well - not a lull in the album.
This album desperately needs more reviews, more testimonials about how great it really is. An absolute musical treasure - one that's obviously fallen through the cracks somehow. The roster of musicians and "without whoms", including jazz luminaries like Vince Giordano, Andy Stein and Arnie Kinsella should alone open one's eyes, and CD collection, to this great album. Buy it NOW, have a listen or two hundred, and tell Amazon what you think.
