Reviews"These two CDS focus on a '40s-'50s moment when jazz, blues, and folk mingled with doo-wop, early rock'n'roll, and avant-garde composition...", Ranked #5 in Spin's 'The Top 10 Reissues Of 2011' -- "The music itself just detonates, track after astonishing track, a cubist portrait.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "WATCH THE CLOSING DOORS takes us back to the middle of the 20th Century and the rumblings of an underground cool waiting to explode.", 4.5 Stars Out of 5 -- "The Tracks Tell Tales That Roar like Subway Cars."
