AMG Review of Best of the Dukes of Dixieland [CBS]

All Music Guide

With only six tunes and a total running time under 38 minutes for a single CD, you'd think you could get more bang for your buck if you wanted a sole Dukes of Dixieland CD, and of course you can. This is a straight reissue of Columbia recordings previously available, with different art work only. Because there are loads of other recordings, you have plenty of options, but for a small handful of "hits" and a very brief summary of this combo, this can only be considered a cursory sliver and not an essential overview.
