Summary: Beautiful music!
Comment: I too bought this CD after seeing Woody play at the Cafe Carlyle, New York which was absolutely wonderful. This album captures the beauty and soaring tunes the band plays as well as the memorable mood of the evening. I urge everyone to buy this CD; this is true jazz at its best. I have played it over and over since buying it whilst the music remains in your heart and mind long after you switch off. The music soars, the songs are utterly happy yet also painfully sad at the same time. A real gem. Please make more of this music Woody and Eddie!

Summary: Woody shares some soul
Comment: If you think New Orleans jazz is dated, peppy and thin, and that Woody Allen is nothing more than an eccentric celebrity filmmaker, buy this CD. Not only is the music fine and intelligent, but Woody shows us a side of him that his films don't capture. There's a sadness in the best pieces that goes beyond wistfulness, a beauty in unexpected places. Woody is serious about the music, but not preachy. The band and he make a lively, compelling, and thoughtful statement about music being one of the best aspects of existence.

Summary: Wild Man Blues (1998 Film) Soundtrack
Comment: First of all there are only two tracks on the CD that are in the film. Also the trombone player is different, as is the drummer. Never the less this is an excellent CD. I've been collecting traditional jazz records since 1937 and I don't normally like the New Orleans style but this band just clicks and I love it. Be prepared that out of 15 tracks, 8 are just a trio with clarinet, banjo and bass. I highly recommend the CD to any one that likes dixieland music.

Summary: Another genius trait of Woody
Comment: Well. I admire Woody Allen as a Movie director,writter and Actor.This CD, is really "different" in the sense of the type of song, rhythm and his particular interpretation style. Just another positive aspect of "Woody"

Summary: An excellent album/CD.
Comment: This is one of the best CD that I have ever collected. I thank Mr. Woody Allen, producer and arranger Mr. Eddy Davis and their group for giving us such a wonderfull album. Listining to this CD gave me the ultimate mind blowing experience and I consider this to be the one of the best CD that I have in my collection. At the begining I was almost addicted to this CD. I am a collector of jazz music for some time. But at one point, I realized that many of them are similar and frankly speaking, a bit monotonous too. Then this CD, Wild Man Blues has really enliven my enthusiasm for music again. These CD does not leave any question about Mr.Allen's musical spirit. My request to Mr. Allen, Mr. Davis and their New Orleans Jazz Band is to produce more CDs of this genre of New Orleans Jazz and of such caliber. You can be sure that I will collect that. I recommend anyone who loves music to collect this CD now.
