 |  | HOT GARBER? POSITIVELY - ABSOLUTELY |  |
For those who know Jan Garber only as the purveyor of sweet music, this selection of 24 mostly pre-Depression sides will come as a revelation. These are songs that were highly popular when they were recorded, and many have stayed in the jazz repertoire. These may not be the definitive performances, which as Rich Conaty points out in his authoritative liner note, were produced by the likes of Goldkette and Whiteman. It's fascinating nevertheless to hear these alternative versions, which reveal the effect of those influences. Two items were transferred from a 1928 MGM musical short, one of which transposes a phrase from Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. Sound quality is excellent, and this should appeal to collectors of hot dance and jazz alike.

Excellent example of the era.Re-mastering done superbly, the recordings sound as if recorded yesterday! Delighted with the selections. A great addition to any collection!
March 25, 2006If you love pre-swing American Popular music, you'll love this CD. This is an excellent example of popular music from those years. The restoration on all the cuts are excellent and you could hardly tell that these came from vintage 78rpm photograph records. This CD is a must have for anyone interested in Hot Jazz from the late 1920's and early 1930's.

September 10, 2005 | | Okay, but not essential to your twenties collection | |
I collect this type of music and I am happy to have almost anything reissued in my collection. This is not the most exciting music out there. I found this band to be merely adequate. None of the songs really heat up. If you are a collector, put this on the bottom of your Christmas list. Put the Hotel Biltmore Orchestra near the top! (It's still available on Amazon).
June 12, 2005 | | Well remastered, and highly listenable | |
The Hot Years is a very good album of its genre, and Old Masters does a very nice job with remastering. I really enjoy this album, but be advised it is a CD-R, not a pressed CD.
