This first volume of blues and boogie pianists from the Storyville label has many highlights. Among the best: all the Champion Jack Dupree tracks, Sunnyland Slim's "Night Owl Blues," Little Brother Montgomery's "Joe Martin Blues," and Memphis Slim's intriguing "Boogie Woogie for Piano and Celeste" and "Bertha May."
