JOE VENUTI

VIOLIN JAZZ

Description:
This hodgepodge sampler contains 14 of violinist Joe Venuti's better recordings from the 1927 34 period, many of them also featuring guitarist Eddie Lang. The performances are mostly drawn from sessions by Venuti's Blue Four with some of the soloists including Jimmy Dorsey switching between clarinet, alto, trumpet and baritone, Frankie Trumbauer on C melody sax and bassoon, bass saxophonist Adrian Rollini and, on "Sweet Lorraine," clarinetist Benny Goodman. The music is consistently exciting although serious collectors will want to acquire releases from the more complete European series instead.
