All three CD sets that I have purchased feature music from the 30's and they are AMAZING! If you love this kind of music, you need these sets!

Outstanding collection, and incredible audio quality. Thank you! Wish there were a booklet or liner notes about the broadcasts and groups with the set, but the information on the site is terrific!

World Famous Ambassador Hotel and Cocoanut Grove..
August 6, 2015
Reviewer:
Richard McLeod from RIVERSIDE, CA United States
The Ambassador Hotel with the Cocoanut Grove Ballroom was at a time one of the most famous Hotels in the World. The once most impressive Los Angeles Hotel now has been sadly torn down. But, at least we have these wonderful CD's of the great Orchestras that played for the Stars of Hollywood who danced and dined at the Hotel which was once also the site of the Academy Awards, and the entertainment center of the Golden Age of both Cinema and Radio. Impressively sitting on 27 acres with all one would expect in a Grand Hotel. The History of this Hotel would fill a book, and thanks to Radio Archives we can hear the music played and broadcast to the World during this time period.

The Fidelity of These Shows is Really Impressive
September 18, 2009

I purchased "The Cocoanut Grove Ambassadors, Volume 2" awhile back. I have thoroughly enjoyed my "visits" to the Grove through these wonderful shows of 1933-34. An added bonus of these shows is hearing many songs that I have on special High Fidelity Reproducing Piano rolls for my 1930 player grand piano, performed by vocalists live on these shows when the songs were first introduced to the public. The singers' vocalizing really makes me feel part of that era. The fidelity of these shows is really impressive. Great Job!
