Jazz & Popular Music of 1920s 9 / Various
The ninth in Rivermont's popular Big Broadcast series features a variety of excellent jazz, dance band, and vocal recordings of the 1920s and 1930s selected by Rich Conaty, host of the long-running vintage music radio program The Big Broadcast heard Sunday evenings on WFUV-FM in New York City.

Highlights in Volume 9 include previously unissued performances from Fred Astaire, Irving Aaronson's Commaners, Nina Mae McKinney, and Irene Taylor, as well as rarities from Glen Gray's Casa Loma Orchestra, Red Nichols, crooner Charlie Palloy, and others. 76 minutes.
