5.0 out of 5 stars One of the 1st jazz singers, and a ukulele great, March 31, 2005
Cliff Edwards took a scat chorus on record before Louis Armstrong ever did, and he was a great "hot" vocalist often leading dixieland style combos(with his Hot Combination) in the 20's(several examples of that here). This cd also features Edwards exellent ukulele strumming, and novelty songs. This cd covers from the mid twenties thru the 1940's. Great music, and a great singer, and a superb ukulele player. A great CD!!! I can't wait until a complete set of his "Hot Combination" recordings comes out.

5.0 out of 5 stars An artist that should be remembered, July 29, 2007
By Merbert "Merbert Music" (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Cliff Edwards should be remembered as the consummate artist that he was. Not only did he perform with precision, superb pitch and diction, but his interpretations of pieces reflected considerable individuality and depth. Edwards was able to take an old chestnut and deliver it with life and emotion. Songs like Somebody Loves Me and Together take on an amazing tenderness and bittersweet quality, then he takes a 180 degree turn and hits the listener a song that is raucous, wild and hot. His scat and freak singing can't be beat. And we mustn't forget how much music he got out of a little ukelele.

4.0 out of 5 stars Early Cliff Edwards, March 9, 2007
These recordings are more of historical interest than musical. The sound quality is OK, but seems to cut off at the highs and lows because of the recording technology of the day.
