Review by Brent Rockwood

Bennie Moten And His Orchestra's album, Vol 2 15 Original Recordings From 1926 1929, is a delightful collection of jazz tunes that transport the listener back in time. The album features Moten's signature big band sound, with a blend of horns, piano, bass, and drums that create a lively and energetic atmosphere.

Each of the 15 tracks on the album is a testament to Moten's skill as a bandleader and composer. The songs range from upbeat and danceable tracks like "Lafayette" and "Get Low Down" to slower, more introspective pieces like "New Vine Street Blues" and "She's Sweeter Than Sugar."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "South," which features a catchy melody and a driving rhythm that will have listeners tapping their feet. Another standout is "Moten Swing," which showcases the band's tight harmonies and Moten's impressive piano skills.
