LEW STONE / AL BOWLLY

AND HIS BAND

VOLUME 3 THE DECCA YEARS WHAT MORE CAN I ASK? (FEAT. AL BOWLLY)

Description:
Vocalion's previous Lew Stone release – Vocalion 6056 Vol.2 'Georgia's Got a Moon' – appeared in 2001, so, seven years later, we're very pleased to announce the return of this great bandleader's music to our catalogue. Once again, the focus is on Stone's Decca recordings, in this case from the early to late 1930s, and the sensational Al Bowlly is heard singing on all but two of the twenty four tracks constituting this release. Under Stone's guidance, Bowlly reached the pinnacle of his career. Here his elegant vocal style is backed by Lew Stone's regular band and, on some numbers, his Monseigneur Band and Orchestra – the latter two so named because Stone was for a time the resident bandleader at the London restaurant of the same name. The superb music making that is the hallmark of the Stone Bowlly partnership is heard to excellent effect throughout and includes enchanting renditions of tunes such as Ti Pi Tin, Pick Yourself Up, By an Old Pagoda and You Couldn't Be Cuter.
