High Hatters - I Wanna Be Loved By You

Bouncy up tempo rendition of a 1920s classic.

Red Nichols Five Pennies 1929

An excellent Vitaphone movie clip from 1929.

Al Jolson

Great song and dance number from film featuring Jolson and Ruby Keeler.

Franklyn Baur - It's A Million To One You're In Love

They just can't do songs like this anymore.

Ruth Etting You Don't Like It-Not Much 1927

Nice RE number from 1927.

Raie Da Costa Whoopee Monte Carlo Medleys

I liked this. Again, most likely two sides of a single.

Nice 40s sound

This ballad has a smooth 1940s sound meant for dancing as well as listening. Apparently British, recorded in November, 1941.

Fred Rich Orchestra High High High Up in the Hills 1927

Two nice 20's recordings worthy of listening to. I think they were posted as flip sides of one record.

This is a good site for information and related links regarding one of my favorite kinds of music, a wide variety of jazz influenced or just plain enjoyable sounds mostly from the "American Songbook." The foundations of this style go back to the early 20th century and have been evolving ever since. It is now possible to listen to early recordings by artists from previous decades or to discover artists of today with fresh new material or their current versions of classic older material. Thanks to Ron Della Chiesa for making it possible.
