{|Nat Shilkret|}'s dance band recordings have been selectively reissued by the {|Swing Time|}, {|Living Era|}, and {|Vintage Music Productions|} labels. Whereas those collections are loaded with high-class pop music of the 1920s performed by an ensemble sounding very like that of {|Roger Wolfe Kahn|}, {|Shilkret|}'s approach to full scale symphonic jazz is the focus of an impressive sampling of his work as conductor of the majestic {|Victor Symphony|}, {|Salon|}, and {|Concert Orchestras|}. Released in 2002 by {|Naxos Jazz Legends|}, the album brings into general availability ten choice examples from the years 1928-1932. It is named for {|Skyscrapers,|} a pleasantly dissonant ballet for chorus and orchestra by {|John Alden Carpenter|}, composer of {|Adventures in a Perambulator.|} At nearly 22 minutes, this is the most extended work on the collection. The second longest recording is an almost 13-minute immersion in {|Hans-Werner Janssen|}'s award-winning tone poem for large orchestra {|New Year's Eve in New York.|} In 1945, {|Shilkret|}'s {|Genesis Suite|} would be presented by the {|Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra|} with {|Werner-Janssen|} conducting. {|Manhattan Serenade|} and {|Manhattan Moonlight|} were written by {|Louis Alter|}, accompanist for {|Nora Bayes|} and composer of {|Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?|} {|Two American Sketches: Nocturne and March|} are by {|Thomas Griselle|}, who won a $10,000 prize from the Victor Talking Machine Company in 1928 for composing these works. {|Jazz Nocturne (My Silent Love)|} is credited to {|Dana Suesse|}, composer of {|Ho Hum,|} {|You Ought to Be in Pictures,|} and {|The Night Is Young and You're So Beautiful.|} {|Song of the Bayou|} was composed by songwriter and jazzman {|Rube Bloom|}, an accomplished session pianist who recorded with {|Bix Beiderbecke|}, {|Joe Venuti|}, and {|Eddie Lang|}. {|Buffoon|} is a delightful study by novelty ragtime composer {|Zez Confrey|}. It was given perhaps its all-time zippiest reading by xylophonist {|Harry Breuer|} on his 1958 {|Audio Fidelity|} album {|Mallet Magic.|} {|Shilkret|}'s own {|Skyward|} dates from 1928. His other works in classical form include a {|Clarinet Quintet|}, {|Southern Humoresque|} for violin, and the {|Firefly Scherzo.|} ~ arwulf arwulf Music>Music>Jazz>Jazz>Jazz, NAXOS OF AMERICA, INC.
