"Greatest Songs" features 72 minutes of songs from the 1930s that were in most cases never allowed the light of day or only momentarily enjoyed the spotlight.The songs are drawn from Alex Hassan's personal collection of over 40,000 original song sheets from 1920-1940, and the newly unveiled "It's Showtime" database at the Library of Congress, which brings to light over 60,000 pieces of theatrical music from America's early days to mid twentieth-century.
The songs have been recorded in absolute brilliant style, and come complete with a 21 page booklet, loaded with tons of funny and informative pictures and articles. Each song has a mini-history and intro written by Alex Hassan.
This show was featured on NPR's "All Things Considered" with Robert Siegel, and has appeared at The Library of Congress, the Kennedy Center, L.A.'s Jonathan club, and Sophia's in New York with Vince Giordano (The Aviator and Boardwalk Empire). It received this recent rave from Michael Feinstein: "You have done something that no one else has ever done by finding and performing, and now recording these songs that were long ago buried and had no chance of ever being heard by anyone! What a great achievement... One of the freshest and most stimulating shows for lovers of vintage popular music performed by an outstandingly talented trio."
