This is a two CD set which contains generally good transfers of Decca recordings, with a few late Brunswicks thrown inIn general, these are good copies, although some are a bit ragged on the edges. More information at the Jolson site...

5.0 out of 5 stars Al Jolson: a musical God, August 19, 2005

By 

Bluegrass Martha (Keene) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cocktail Hour (Audio CD)

Al Jolson is a musical God. His minstrel image blackens his musical soul, but he displays infinite musical ability... far outstriping Sinatra, Martin, and other crooners. Jolson is alone on a musical platform with only two other performers by his side: Judy Garland and Sammy Davis Jr. This collection displays some of his musical acuity!
