  • Hey it's me!
    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2006

    I received this CD yesterday and have played it through at least 5 times now. There are 23 songs on this CD, and it plays for well over 70 minutes. The songs are toe-tappingly delightful. Some of the songs are instrumentals, others are sung in the classic style of 20s and 30s music (that kind of "tinny" sound, for lack of a better word), that just sounds FAN-FLIPPIN'-TASTIC! For someone like me who hasn't grown up with this music, it all sounds fresh. Listen to the samples here and see if you agree.

    Wow! Love this CD! Great old tunes that make you feel like you've step back in time. I highly recommend this if you are a fan of 1930's music.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2010
    Bert Lown might ring a bell as the co-author of Bye Bye Blues, but he was also the leader of what must surely be one of the greatest hotel bands of the early thirties, on both sides of the Atlantic. The band has a wonderful drive, thanks mainly to the very well recorded guitar of Tommy Felline, while the sax section is punched along and given considerable depth by Adrian Rollini's prominently featured bass sax (he is not used as the bass: there is also a brass bass in the rhythm section). Rollini also plays vibraphone in some places. Arrangements (by pianist Chauncy Gray) are usually well crafted and imaginative, with many a solo break for Rollini, trumpeter Frank Cush and trombonist Al Philburn (whose languid solo, underpinned by Felline's delicate guitar weavings, is the highlight of Bye Bye Blues). Vocals are mainly taken by a honey-voiced trio, consisting a.o. of Elmer Feldkamp (later to go with Freddy Martin). Whilst this is not a jazz band, the music is certainly more jazz inflected than that of most other hotel bands of the day. The bulk of the recordings stems from 1930-1931, with the last three from 1933 (when Lown's Biltmore contract had already ended). Afterwards Lown seems to have drifted into managing bands rather than leading them. From the band's 86 issued sides, this is a most pleasing selection, given the usual care and attention by TOM: informative liner notes and discographical info, combined with excellent audio restoration. Highly recommended to all who love this kind of pre-swing hot dance music.
