Title: MUSIC MAESTRO PLEASE
Product review: This CD features two complete and uninterrupted broadcasts from summer 1938 in which Whiteman played host to Artie Shaw and Bobby Hackett respectively. So this disc offers the rare pleasure of Artie Shaw and Jack Teagarden duetting on a beautiful rendition of "I Surrender Dear", accompanied by the full Whiteman band. Teagarden gets quite some space here and he is sympathetically introduced by Whiteman. And although some of the arrangements are a trifle overdone it is still a joy to hear the band in full fling in e.g. "I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart". Also featured are the Four Modernaires and Joan Edwards. The programme has an attractive variety, sound quality is quite good, liner notes are brief but to the point and the booklet contains a number of rare pictures.Quite an attractive reissue!
