JANE HARVEY SOUNDIE

Several years before being discovered by John Hammond at New York's legendary Cafe Society and subsequently joining the Benny Goodman band in 1944, Jane Harvey had already appeared with several other outfits, including that one of well-known bandleader of his day, Ray Herbeck. Also, before Goodman, she had her own sustaining radio show on the Mutual Broadcasting System. Between then and now, however, she has only recorded a handful of albums on such labels as Dot and RCA. and a baker's dozen (or so) of singles. But there is little doubt that her newely-reissued CD of Harvey singing Sondheim is the crown jewel of the lot. Jane Harvey will make a rare Los Angeles appearance on Wednesday, Jan. 26, 2011 at the M Bar in Hollywood. New Yorkers will get a chance to see her in March 2011at Feinstein's.

Thanks so much for this. I love Jame Harvey with Dick Wellstead playing old fats waller chestnuts. This is fantastic and what is sad is that it has had only 333 views: how sad.
