Free Music Notes for Bing Crosby Meets Al Jolson

Free Music Review: THE titans of 20th Century music take to the airwaves!
Hit: 5 Stars

Ken Barnes,music writer/producer/historian has done it once again.Those that recall his seminal CD sets of Bing Crosby's entire UA Sessions and the complete London Fred Astaire sessions(both long out of print) will know the man very well.He has a solid rep in the music and entertainment biz and has even created a company that restores music and movies.This 2005 2-CD set is one of his latest projects and offers us up some highly significant and historic recordings.
Presented here are two of the greatest singers(arguably the two GREATEST)ever to grace a stage and enter a recording studio;Al Jolson and Bing Crosby.Jolson was the "greatest entertainer" and was at the dizzying heights of his early career when Bing was just a pup.No one before or since has ever performed with the bravura and energy on stage as did Jolson.He was a force unto himself and engaged his audiences from start to finish.Of course he was also a big name in the early years of recorded sound and sold millions of discs and sheet music and later, in movies.
Crosby was a third of a vocal group called the Rhythm Boys working with Paul Whiteman's famous Orchestra.From there he went solo and in his own unique way slowly but surely carved himself out a monster of a career in show business also through the recording medium and movies.Crosby had idolized Jolson as a youngster but he was no copy cat.He had a style all his own,more rooted in jazz than Jolson,and with his persona of the relaxed and cool crooner,he became a hit with millions of people.His vocal style still influences singers today.
Jolson had done the Kraft Music Hall(the source of most of these recordings)in the early 30s but Bing took it over as host steadily from /36 to /46.After Bing,Jolson took the reigns until 1949.Both men were highly successful during their respective runs at the Hall and these cuts amply demonstrate why these two men were simply the greatest at what they did.Jolsons' voice aged beautifully as time went on and the newer and better recording technology captured the deep richness of his vocal timbre that his earlier recordings had failed to get.Bings' voice also improved as the technology did and Bing also is heard to best advantage on these recordings.
The dates for these songs range from 1946 to 1950 and Ken Barnes has managed to present the material on hand in the best possible way,sonically speaking.You will here the patter and the chatter between,before and after the cuts and they enhance the listening experience as a whole.You can tell both men were relaxed,at their best and seemingly having a ball together.Jolie's phrasing and voice are in superb form and vocally he never drops the ball once.Bing,as always,was in fine form as host and as guest.Also included is a booklet with some info regarding these recordings by Barnes and the complete release and recording info.
Fans of both these men will want to get this CD set for their collections.The Kraft Music Hall performances are quite rare these days on CD and as they showcase the myriad of talent that passed in front of its' microphones like no other,in this case Jolson and Crosby,you have to get while the getting is good.These historic treasures are a definite must have.
