Peg La Centra: Peg La Centra - The Complete Recordings 1934 -1937
Most of the music was recorded by Artie Shaw back in 1934. But the earlier material comes from Shaw aggregations from an earlier band which was not a very successful venture.
Nonetheless, Shaw, La Lentra and the music survived, all to go on to greater heights.
Ted Ono, a veteran producer of music from this era, continues to issue this fashion of music on his Baldwin Street Music label. Like some of his other releases, this is a mixed bag, with the high quality material fortunately far overriding the less enthralling material. You can visit Ted and Baldwin Street Music at http://www.baldwinstreetmusic.com . Finally, there is no scrimping on the amount of music presented on this 2-Fer, more than 2 hours and 15 minutes on the CD.
