The four giants of boogie are squeezed onto this 2CD set – Meade Lux Lewis, Pete Johnson, Albert Ammons and Jimmy Yancey. Altogether there are five original LPs and an EP. I especially enjoyed Johnson and Ammons’ 8 to the Bar and Jimmy Yancey’s Lost Recording Date but all of them roll along splendidly.
