Yazoo 1062; Ordering Information


" Not just historic, but great musical pleasure."
- Jazz Express

Joe Venuti is revered in retrospect as the first and perhaps greatest jazz violinist, history's equivalent of his close associate Eddie Lang. Even as the musical era he embodied grows increasingly remote, his performances still command attention, not only as historic milestones but as aesthetic ones. These quartet selections with Lang on guitar, Frank Signorelli on piano and Adrian Rollini on bass sax set standards that are unsurpassed for sheer musicianship. Top-notch examples include Wild dog, Four String Joe, Satan's Holiday, Sweet Lorraine, Kickin' The Cat.
