Russ Columbo
The Complete Studio Recordings (2 CD Set)

Description

Russ Columbo was one of the most gifted and tragically short-lived voices of the early sound era, a velvet-toned baritone whose romantic style placed him in direct competition with Bing Crosby and Rudy Vallée at the height of the crooner craze. This 2 CD set brings together his complete studio recordings, offering the most comprehensive single collection of his work available and an essential document of pre-war American popular song. Columbo’s warm, intimate delivery and impeccable phrasing are captured across his full recorded legacy, making this set indispensable for collectors of 1930s jazz-pop and classic crooner material. His untimely death in 1934 at just 26 left an extraordinary body of work that this collection preserves in its entirety…
