WETF Show - Maxine Sullivan in the 1930'...

JOHN CLARK
About this episode

Sullivan was not well known, except for her classic recording of "Loch Lomond" which stamped her as a semi-classical/folk singer in a jazz style. That wasn't a fair assessment at all, as can be heard from these swinging sides from 1936-40, accompanied by Charlie Shavers, Bobby Hackett, Lloyd ReeseMannie Klein, Frankie Newton, Buster Bailey, Jimmy Lytell, Babe Russin, Toots Mondello, Claude Thornhill, John Kirby, O'Neil Spencer, Buddy Rich and many others.
