Customer Reviews incredibly beautiful songs One can forget how many terrific songs Kern wrote until one listens to them gathered together on this wonderful CD. Saw the movie ("The Jerome Kern Story") and had to have the CD This CD has probably every one of Jerome's hits from the early beginning of his career to the end. I just saw the movie on TCM called "The Jerome Kern Story", and I wanted to have the CD of Jerome's best hists for my CD Library. The re-recordings of Jerome's earlier titles are very old, and therefore they may sound like MONO recordings (which they are!). But I don`t think there is any way around that, since Jerome Kerns began writing songs in the late 1800's,way before STEREO SOUNDS even came about! To me, the fun part about owning recordings from the past is to listen to the songs just as they may have been heard 80+ years ago, for example. This fact does not take away from the listening pleasure, but infact, it takes the listener back to the early days of music & enhances the experience. Jerome Kerns was one of the most prolific song writers of his time. . . A true genius. This is a must have CD if a person is interested in the history of music. . He just keeps rollin along One of those songs is arguably the greatest of all American popular songs, ' Ole Man River'. Jerome Kern is the first of the great group of American popular song composers which would include Irving Berlin, the Gershwins, Rogers- Hart- Hammerstein, Cole Porter, ,,, The great show music , the great songs have become part and parcel of the American popular repertoire. This recording has versions of the songs Kern himself would probably approve of, as he did not particularly like jazzed-up versions of his work.
