Jazz Noire: Darktown Sleaze From The Mean Streets of 1940’s L.A.

(Fantastic Voyage)

5 Star Review in Evening Standard

“…You’ll discover and absolute gem here. As a soundtrack to the black and white movie era, this two CD, 50 track anthology also documents a golden age of black popular music. For superb vocals, sample the young Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Nellie Lutcher, Charles Brown, Nat Cole, and Billy Eckstine. For top instrumentals, try  Charlie Parker,  Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk or Lester Young…welcome to retro Valhalla.”
