JOE VENUTI

PERFORMANCE
Description:
Joe Venuti was the first great violinist of Jazz. The music he made with Eddie Lang would later be a major influence on Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli in France. Venuti played briefly with Red Nichols, toured with Jean Goldkette and played in the orchestra of many Broadway shows. He co led a band with Eddie Lang off and on through most of the 1920's, that included Jimmy Dorsey, Red Nichols and Frank Signorelli of the Original Dixieland Jass Band. In 1929 he joined the Paul Whiteman Orchestra. He enjoyed a resurgence of interest in the 1970s. These recordings capture Venuti at the height of his fame during the 30's in rare archival performances from radio broadcasts.
