Description

From the Rick Colom Collection: An album of music conducted by Levine, with vocals by Linda on all but tracks 1 & 6

Note: these eight songs have also been posted as individual videos and were included in Victor’s last of four early-1940s album sets that featured cast members of NBC’s weekly program “The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street.” The tongue-in-cheek presentations of jazz, blues and Dixieland were performed by studio musicians led by Henry Levine and Paul Laval with vocals during the early seasons by Dinah Shore, Lena Horne and Linda Keene.
