[78-L] Listen to Jazz Age classical composers try their hand at the pop styles of the day

[Lloyd Davies]

Pianist Gottlieb Wallisch has produced a CD of classical composers attempting contemporary 1920's jazz vogues.  It is amazing how widespread this dabbling was.

You can find the modern recordings by searching YouTube "20th Century Foxtrots, Vol. 1: Austria & Czechia" "Gottlieb Wallisch"

My question is whether any of these jazz-like forays were recorded when new....  and can any of them be recommended to today's collector.

You can easily find the tracklist by searching PrestoMusic.com , etc.  A fuller explanation of the project appeared in Tuesday's "New York Times".
