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 music is consistently exciting although serious collectors will want to acquire releases from the more complete European series instead. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
