Hal Kemp - Got a Date With an Angel

Got a Date With an Angel  By Hal Kemp  Very ++ Good Condition. (Includes Cd,original artwork inserts and jewel case, all in VERY good Condition.) In 1992, Pro Arte released an 18-track collection of recordings made during the '30s by Hal Kemp and His Orchestra, a dance band that had its roots in the hot jazz of the '20s and investments in the sweet sounds of Depression-era pop music as well as the streamlined intricacies of well-arranged swing, a style soon to be perfected by the John Kirby Sextet and manifested here under the banners of Reginald Forsythe (composer of "Serenade for a Wealthy Widow" and "Dodging a Divorcee") and Raymond Scott (who wrote "Siberian Sleighride" and "In an 18th Century Drawing Room"). Kemp's band is well represented on this disc, which is recommended by the charm of "Love for Sale," "Moon with a Hangover" "Lamplight," and "It's Only a Paper Moon." Vocals are by Hal Kemp and his Swing-A-Roosters, the Smoothies, Bob Allen, Maxine Grey, Deane Janis, Janet Bla
