Entertainment Weekly (9/17/99, p.81) - "...The less heralded, far earthier music of L.A.'s African-American jazz community gets its props on this eye-opening four-CD set that touches on the work of progenitors...blues-based stylists...swing giants...and bop pioneers..." - Rating: A-
JazzTimes (1-2/00, pp.109-10) - "...There is some fine music on these four CDs, along with some curiosities....What emerges in this portrait...is a scene that...had its remarkable moments and important personalities....'makes the case' for L.A.'s seminal locale in jazz's evolution."
