THE BIG BROADCAST
Jazz and Popular Music of the 1920s and 1930s
Rivermont BSW-1141

The first in Rivermont's popular Big Broadcast series, this CD features a variety of excellent jazz, dance band, and vocal recordings of the 1920s and 1930s selected by Rich Conaty, host of the long-running vintage music radio program The Big Broadcast heard Sunday evenings on WFUV-FM in New York City. Many of these rare selections are making their first appearance on compact disc, and several are previously unreleased in any format. Conaty provides insightful introductions to each recording in the enclosed 16-page full-color illustrated booklet.
