The Complete Imperial Sessions is a CD compilation of the two albums led by American jazz trombonist/composer Lou Blackburn, Jazz Frontier and Two Note Samba, which were recorded in 1963 and originally released on the Imperial label.

[2] AllMusic reviewer Ken Dryden stated: "The musicianship throughout these dates is exemplary and it is a shame that the short-lived quintet didn't achieve greater recognition.

Even bop fans who are not at all familiar with Lou Blackburn will enjoy this collection of his early work as a leader".

[3] All About Jazz correspondent, Mike Keely said "The Complete Imperial Sessions presents a tight West Coast band with a bluesy East Coast sound.

There is the best of both worlds in this fine quintet with its well-balanced soloists and outstanding rhythm section.
