This collection finds Jolson welcoming some of the biggest names in radio comedy including Burns & Allen, Dennis Day, Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy, Lucille Ball, Bing Crosby, William Bendix, Jimmy Durante and Red Skelton. Also appearing as Jolson s sidekick is Oscar Levant, the pianist-raconteur, who had won over radio audiences with his unbridled sarcasm on Information Please. Here he never misses an opportunity to lob verbal hand grenades at Jolie s age, multiple marriages, money and ego.
Even today, Jolson s Kraft Music Hall broadcasts are a testament to his immortal words: Wait a minute, folks you ain't heard nothin' yet! This four CD audio collection features eight episodes, all digitally remastered and restored for your listening enjoyment. Also included is a Program Guide by radio historian Ivan G. Shreve, Jr. with photographs and background information about the shows.
