(Compilation) – Blackbirds Of 1928

,

Not all of the original performers from the original 1928 Broadway revue were available for this 1933 recording reissued as an LP in 1968 40 years after the show. Even so, this is a stellar cast, including Duke Ellington Orchestra, Ethel Waters, Cab Calloway, Mills Brothers, Don Redman Orchestra, Adelaide Hall, Bill Bojangles Robinson, Cecil Mark, Cecil Mack Choir, Dorothy Fields, Jimmy McHugh, and Jack Kapp. An incredible album.

I am Idek Idehen, a musician and avid listener. Like my father before me, music is my life. Every day, I practice music, revisit known music and listen to unknown music. Some days, I share those things with friends. Here are some of the recordings I think they might enjoy. Maybe you will enjoy them, too.
