Par VENUTI JOE. Joe Venuti a été le premier et le plus grand violoniste de jazz. En 1954, un impromptu session d'enregistrement en duo avec le guitariste Tony Romano a produit, selon les termes de la critique de jazz respecté Leonard Feather, ' la musique de l'ordre de la plus haute et la plus pure '. Violoniste de Jazz britannique et professeur Aidan Massey a transcrit méticuleusement solos à couper le souffle du Venuti de cette session, le CD qui est également inclus dans ce volume. Paul Anastasio qui a étudié avec Venuti dit cela représente de Joe ' meilleur enregistré travail ' et que Massey ' a fait un travail formidable de l'écriture des transcriptions Spot-On, très précises '. Le livre contient une introduction par Richard Niles Romano, avec une brève biographie de son père, Tony Romano et Venuti et les circonstances entourant cet enregistrement historique rare.
