THE BIG BROADCAST, Volume 2 Jazz and Popular Music of the 1920s and 1930s Rivermont BSW-1144 The second 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 (including the one-of-a-kind test pressing of "Blue Baby" by Kenneth Casey and His Orchestra). Conaty provides insightful introductions to each recording in the enclosed 16-page full-color illustrated booklet.
