In the pantheon of Tin Pan Alley and American popular song, it's difficult at times to find the composers actually performing their own material. On this 21-track CD you hear some of those writers in performance, either conducting a band, collaborating, or singing. Unfortunately, digital reproduction cannot clean up the muddy original recordings, and many of these cuts suffer from that deficiency. Of the more popular highlights, you hear George Gershwin's "Someone to Watch Over Me," Cole Porter's "Anything Goes" and "You're the Top," Ray Noble's "The Very Thought of You" and "The Touch of Your Lips," and Duke Ellington's "Caravan" and "Solitude."
