Showing how many popular tunes of the day originated from Jewish melodies
A gramophone programme presented by Alan Keith
Here is a programme that will show just how many popular modern songs and dance tunes have their origin in old Yiddish melodies. Most of such modern numbers have their origin in New York from which such popular hits as 'Joseph, Joseph' 'Eili, Eili', and 'Almonds and Raisins' have come in recent years. Teddy Brown has actually played ' Eili, Eili' as a saxophone solo - a strange accomplishment in terms of an old Yiddish tune. Other numbers that you will hear are 'Sha, Sha, Yasha' and ' Sleep, baby, sleep'.

A flight of the imagination by Leslie Perowne with some gramophone records
What sort of picture has the average swing enthusiast of that home of swing and ' hot' music—Harlem ? Certainly he must have a picture of some kind, and this is surely true in the case of Leslie Perowne , who for years has been looking after 'hot ' gramophone records for the BBC. He has never been to Harlem. But in this programme—which may or may not be the truth about that dusky quarter-he will give you his impressions of it and will play some of the numbers that may be heard any night in the famous Roseland Ballroom there. With ' Drop me off at Harlem' he will open his programme, and thereafter in word and melody he will paint a sound picture of the whole Lenox Avenue district.
