Free Music Notes for Original Dance Music of 1920's & 1930's
Free Music Review: snazzy music before the big band era--but with a side dish of surface noise
Hit: 4 Stars
Original Dance Music of 1920's & 1930's is a great single CD compilation of some of the "hottest" hits that people danced to and heard on the radio before the big band era. The quality of the sound is rather good considering the age of the recordings; and the artwork is excellent. One thing to take note of, however: Amazon indicates that this album is available for digital MP3 download; but when I checked it out the link up above leads you to a song set for another CD altogether. OOPS, AMAZON!
"Remarkable Girl" by Ted Weems & His Orchestra sounds wonderful; and when Country Washburn comes in to sing the lyrics this number takes off like a jet! "Remarkable Girl" is also noteworthy because it showcases an early recording by the great Ted Weems & His Orchestra. The brass is used very well in the musical arrangement, too. "I Wanna Be Loved By You" is a classic hit that some people may recognize even in these times; Helen Kane doesn't sing this rendition but The Broadway Nitelites and Vaughn Deleath do a sublime performance! There's also another great tune when we get "Miss Annabelle Lee (Who's Wonderful, Who's Marvelous)." "Miss Annabelle Lee (Who's Wonderful, Who's Marvelous)" gets the royal treatment from The Mike Speciale Orchestra with Billy Carola singing the lyrics. Sure, there's some surface noise on this track; but it still sounds very good anyway.
We also hear the classic tune, "Happy Days Are Here Again." This was the "theme song" for FDR's first campaign for the presidency; and it still sounds wonderful to my ears. The Ben Selvin Orchestra never misses a single note although unfortunately the CD manufacturers don't know who sang the lyrics to this song. Sorry, folks. "I Found A Million Dollar Baby (In A Five And Ten Cent Store)" is another adorable love song that I always enjoy hearing; this gets a fine interpretation by The Frank Auburn Orchestra along with a very young Benny Goodman! Similarly, "You're The Cream In My Coffee" sparkles with very little surface noise, if any; and I think you'll enjoy this number if you like this type of music. Frank Salvano sings "You're the Cream in My Coffee" to perfection--and beyond!
I never knew that "Who's Sorry Now?" went this far back; unfortunately this has surface noise but I hope that you'll enjoy this rendition anyway. Listen also for "What A Day;" I always love to hear this tune. Ted Weems and his band mates give this their all with Parker Gibbs singing very well. How these guys could turn out a tune! "She's Got It" is another number with a fine musical arrangement; when Parker Gibbs comes in this number shines! The CD also ends well with The Gene Kardos Orchestra performing "Red Headed Baby." This'll leave you wanting more!
Original Dance Music of 1920's & 1930's offers us a lot of the best music from the 1920's and the 1930's. If you like this album I suggest you try other CDs that have music from this era.
