Customer Reviews

Another great Big Broadcast compilation!
I just received this as a membership premium from WFUV, and it is excellent. It is fully as good as the first compilation, with esoteric recordings beautifully transferred to please the aficionado of vintage pop and jazz and the novice alike. Rich Conaty and the people at Rivermont have succeeded once again in producing an invaluable selection of great music.

Skeptic (Northeast) may gainsay this, but it's good stuff, and I commend it to your attention. Let him do his worst.

Every Bit As Good As Volume 1
It seems like only yesterday that I was raving about Rich Conaty's compilation on Rivermont BSW 1141, and Volume 2 is every bit as good. In his introduction to the exemplary 16-page liner note Rich highlights the Connie Boswell, Al Bowlly, and Annette Hanshaw tracks as being issued on CD for the first time, and there are plenty more which, as he puts it, "have fallen between the reissue cracks". With over 30 years' experience of hosting his weekly radio program on WFUV-FM in New York City, he is a connoisseur of this era, and the result is a fascinating mixture of hot and sweet which demonstrates that jazz and popular music were not mutually exclusive domains. Many of the original 78 recordings are considerable rarities, to purchase any one of which would set you back a great deal more than the cost of this CD. I cannot recommend it too highly, and am looking forward already to Volume 3.

Big Broadcast, Big sound
Really enjoyed this compilation. Excellent music right from the first track by Eva Taylor. The liner notes included are read worthy. As someone who enjoys music from the 20's and 30's, I can't recommend this album enough.
All the Big Broadcast compilations are unique in their own way but they just take you to a magical place that's worth going to often.
