Jerome Kern is the first of the great group of American popular song composers which would include Irving Berlin, the Gershwins, Rogers- Hart- Hammerstein, Cole Porter, ,,, The great show music , the great songs have become part and parcel of the American popular repertoire. One of those songs is arguably the greatest of all American popular songs, ' Ole Man River'.

If you are inspired by the romantic songs of Jerome Kern, this collection will not disappoint you. Many pieces are performed by artists contemporary to Kern's composing career, and the music reflects the variety of these styles. Kern is still tops among American composers of romantic ballads.
