This is a nice review piece. XPN is a brilliant shop and this is a brilliant review of a significant contribution to American Musical History.
This review of the box set is very positive and, well, I hate to say it, just a little too on the promotional side. I'm always a fan of short pieces and this one is the perfect length for anyone to use in any programming situation, but perhaps it could be a bit deeper an point out a bit more about Jelly Roll Morton's life. After all, it's 8 disks! Perhaps there should a couple of parts to this?
The host is a recognized expert in his field and one of the best radio voices you can have on your air.
