5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful. A must have for any lover of ragtime music, June 3, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: On the Level, You're a Little Devil--Songs of Vaudeville and Tin Pan Alley (Audio CD)

This is a special recording. It contains a number of wonderful, familiar ragtime classics, but it also has a number of rarely recorded gems. Jody's voice is incredible. She blends beautifully with the orchestra. This is a must-have recording for any lover of ragtime music! You'll want to play it all of the time because it is just so much fun to listen to!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Ragtime and Vaudeville Performance!, June 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: On the Level, You're a Little Devil--Songs of Vaudeville and Tin Pan Alley (Audio CD)

A delightful recording. Beautiful singing, great arrangements. The recording includes a 20-page song book with all the lyrics. There are a number of familiar songs like "Shine On, Harvest Moon." But there are quite a few rarely heard or recorded gems like "On the Level, You're a Little Devil." This is a must have CD.

A splendid singing performance by Jody Dall'Armi, showing that some singers ARE capable of a convincing performance of those old songs, combined with the flawless and well-balanced backing by the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra, in great shape - again! Listen to this, and THEN go, watch and listen to a today's popular singer with his microphone, ever out-of-balance P.A., and, oh yes, his band (if there is one...)
