AL JOLSON REDISCOVERED: Dynamic Public-Domain Performances... New CD

Description: "AL JOLSON REDISCOVERED: Dynamic Public-Domain Performances Curated by Chip Deffaa..." This new CD offers some two-dozen performances by the man who was always billed as--(and no one questioned that billing!)--"The World's Greatest Entertainer." This collection includes soundtrack recordings from the landmark Jolson films that ushered in talking pictures--"The Jazz Singer" (1927) and "The Singing Fool" (1928), both of which are now in public domain. This set includes one rare number that is missing from the version of "The Singing Fool" that is shown today. The set also includes spirited vintage acoustic studio recordings, plus rare early "live" radio performances (including an 11-minute presentation of Jolson's career that has never been released on any album). Curated and introduced by Jolson-authority Chip Deffaa, this collectors' edition is the latest release in a series of limited-collectors'-edition CDs that also includes "Al Jolson's Broadway," "Al Jolson: King of Broadway," "Al Jolson: From Broadway to Hollywood," "Al Jolson Sings Irving Berlin," "George M. Cohan: Rare Performances," "Fanny Brice: the Real Funny Girl," "Fanny Brice: Rare and Unreleased Recordings," "Chip Deffaa's Broadway and Vaudeville Legends," and more.
