Free Music Review: Best of Nostalgic Music
Hit: 5 Stars
Comparisons to the Andrews Sisters are inevitable because they were a sister act of about the same era, singing some of the same songs or similar songs. As one reviewer said, it's like comparing apples to oranges. Andrews Sister had a sweeter and smoother sound and some great songs, but all the songs sounded alike. The Boswell's, on the other hand, seem to really make each song sound different and unique and even put a lot of different variety into a given song. It makes them far more interesting than the Andrews Sister, where a little goes a long way. The Boswell's arrangements keep you interested. You can listen over and over again and hear something new every time. For nostalgia buffs who like 30's music, this is a MUST HAVE album. Sound quality is pretty good for the age of the recordings too. This album is pure delight from start to finish. No it isn't the Andrews Sisters; it's far, far better.
That's How Rhythm Was Born Poster
With their jaunty, close harmonies, vocal riffing, and deceptively casual fusion of black and white vocal models, New Orleans's Boswell Sisters set a prescient standard for vocal jazz during the late '20s and '30s that would reverberate through pop as well in the decades that followed, essentially cloned but somewhat degrooved by the better-known Andrews Sisters. The Boswells' hometown lode of seminal jazz shaped their romping, good-humored workouts. In addition, Martha (piano), Helvetia (violin, banjo, guitar), and leader Connie (cello, sax, guitar) were spirited accompanists as well as polished, ebullient singers who favored rhythmic dance songs and Tin Pan Alley novelties as well as recognizable early jazz masterpieces. This delightful 20-song compilation finds them ranging through works both slight and substantial but always charming; the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra is featured on the majority of the tracks, which includes works by Ellington, Hoagy Carmichael, Johnny Mercer, Harry Warren, and Harold Arlen, as well as their discerning opener, "Rock & Roll," a saucy jazz-era dance manifesto. --Sam SutherlandJazz Music CDs
