An alphabetical survey of classic jazz in 26 parts, featuring original recordings in high-quality stereo sound.
24: V is for violin, and one of its greatest jazz exponents,
Joe Venuti , while W is for another 'instrument' - the washboard, with tracks from the Washboard Rhythm Kings and the Washboard Serenaders. Fats Waller takes a bow, there's a saucy song from Ethel Waters, and Chick Webb provides a big-band finale.
