RICHARD HIMBER AND HIS ORCHESTRA Volume 3: Lullaby of Broadway (1934-1935) Renovation 7009 From NBC promotional materials of the mid-1930s: "Just scratch any of the really important radio popularity polls held during the past two years, and you'll consistently find Richard Himber and his music featured among the country's leading dance orchestras...[a]ll of which is not surprising after you've once heard the smooth, silky rhythms of Richard Himber and his music. Under his insinuating baton, tinkling dance melodies are coaxed into something more than just another 'number.' Himber is an innovator, a creator of original effects... In short, Richard Himber and his orchestra have a graceful smartness and a blended finish that invite listeners as well as dancers." This disc features all of Himber's recordings from 5 December 1934 through 19 June 1935. Vocalists include Joey Nash and Stuart Allen. 72 minutes. NOTE: This CD was produced by Renovation Records.
