THE BIG BROADCAST, Volume 5 Jazz and Popular Music of the 1920s and 1930s Rivermont BSW-1151 The fifth 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. Conaty provides insightful introductions to each recording in the enclosed 16-page full-color illustrated booklet. Among the highlights in Volume 5 are several one-of-a-kind test pressings featuring previously unissued performances by Gene Rodemich's Orchestra and Henry Lange's Orchestra, and a recently discovered aircheck of Hal Kemp's Orchestra from 1932.
