This massive eight-disc box set collects not only Prima, Smith, and Butera's '50s and '60s studio work for the label, but also live recordings and solo outings by the three entertainers. Among the nearly 200 assembled tracks are energetic numbers that mix jump blues, jazz, and early rock & roll to utterly charming effect; classics like "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody," "Jump, Jive, An' Wail," and "Oh Marie" stand alongside Crescent City standards like "Way Down Yonder In New Orleans" and "Bourbon Street Blues." This comprehensive set is essential for true Prima diehards.
