Matías Bombal - Swingin' At The Cotton Club, Classic Jazz and Swing, radio program from KXJZ 2005

Physical Description: 2 CD-Rs

Scope and Contents

Contains two CD-Rs and some paper documentation from a public radio program from 2005. On one compact disc, Bombal relates the story of the Cotton Club in New York City, with studio recordings of artists and songs introduced and performed at the club. He also presents a broadcast by Hellmut H. Hellmutt of the Reichs-Rundfunkgesellschaft, a supplier of pre-recorded programs to radio stations in Germany of the midnight show of April 20-21, 1931. It is the only known complete broadcast from the original location of the Cotton Club on 142nd Street at Lennox Avenue in Harlem and among the earliest surviving sound documents of German radio. The broadcast was discovered in the vaults of Sony/BMG by archivist Michael Brooks. The last track on the disc is a copy of an excerpt from the news talk show Insight, in which Jeffrey Callison interviews Matías Bombal about the Swingin' at the Cotton Club program. The other compact disc is a production reference recording of Bombal interviewing Michael Brooks about his discovery. Excerpts of the interview were broadcast on KXJZ.
