Never in a million years would I have expected to be loving music from the 1920s and 30s. Except as incidental music in a period film, maybe. But the "Easy music anni '30" (NRE 1034) totally does it for me.
De Wolfe's "The Top 1920's" (3333) is another scorcher, recently offered by Retronic.
Those were dire times. But their music, not so. The soundtrack to our current descent into the abyss, on the other hand, leaves much to be desired.
