From the All Music Guide:
This obscure LP features the Dixieland tunes that were utilized in the Jack Webb Hollywood movie Pete Kelly's Blues. Although four songs (which are given rather sappy treatment) feature Ray Heindorf directing the Warner Bros. Orchestra, most of the other performances are not from the film's soundtrack. Peggy Lee and Ella Fitzgerald sang in the movie but are not on this album. However, the same hot combo from the movie (and one that would soon have an independent life) is featured on eight numbers. Trumpeter Dick Cathcart played all of Jack Webb's solos and the other musicians are trombonist Moe Schneider, clarinetist Matty Matlock (the bandleader), Eddie Miller on tenor, pianist Ray Sherman, guitarist George Van Eps, bassist Jud DeNaut, and drummer Nick Fatool. Among the tunes that they jam are "Smiles," "What Can I Say Dear After I Say I'm Sorry," "I'm Gonna Meet My Sweetie Now," and a heated "Oh, Didn't He Ramble." Well worth picking up by Dixieland collectors.

1 Pete Kelly's Blues - Ray Heindorff Conducting the Warner Bros Orchestra
2 Smiles - Matty Matlock and His Jazz Band
3 Sugar - Matty Matlock and His Jazz Band
4 What Can I Say Dear After I Say I'm Sorry - Matty Matlock and His Jazz Band

Quotes:

"Louis Maistros has written a lyrical, complex, and brave novel that takes enormous risks and pulls them all off. He is a writer to watch and keep reading, a writer to cherish."
– Peter Straub

"The Society of North American Magic Realists welcomes its newest, most dazzling member, Louis Maistros. His debut novel is a thing of wonder, unlike anything in our literature. It startles. It stuns. It stupefies. No novel since CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES has done such justice to New Orleans. If Franz Kafka had been able to write like Peter Straub, this might have been the result."
– Donald Harington,
Winner of the Robert Penn Warren Award and the Oxford-American Lifetime Achievement Award.

“The Sound of Building Coffins is easily one of the finest and truest pieces of New Orleans fiction I've ever read.”
- Poppy Z. Brite

“One has to write with considerable authenticity to pull off a story steeped in magic and swamp water that examines race and class, death and rebirth, Haitian voodoo, and the beginnings of jazz in 1891 New Orleans...The plot is complex and magical, grounded in the history of the city, without being overly sentimental. There is a comfort with death as a part of life in this work that reveals deep feeling for the city and its past....Highly recommended for all fiction collections, especially where there is an interest in jazz."
