Max Miller - There'll Never Be Another Max Miller - There'll Never Be Another
Max was the master when it came to comedy; ask any comedian and they'll tell you his influence as a comic was as great as his enormous popularity with the public. He held the audience in the palm of his hand as he toldthe naughtiest of stories, and all without a trace of vulgarity. Here are over fifty minutes of Max at his peak, recorded in the late 30s and the early 40s when he brought the light of laughter to the blackout.

La Vie Parisienne : Great French Stars of the 30s & 40s La Vie Parisienne : Great French Stars of the 30s & 40s
The extraordinary richness of the chanson between the 1920s and the 1950s was no accident. The carnage of the 1914-18 war had changed the social fabric of France forever and the advent of the cinema, the gramophone and, later, radio drastically altered the nature of entertainment. Suddenly the tired music-hall traditions of the Paris cafZ-concert were being revitalized by dynamic outside influences and this superb album is a sort of tribute to a generation of French singers whose talents were compelling enough to bridge the linguistic divide between them and their foreign audience.

Perfect Bebop Perfect Bebop
So, what is bebop exactly - what does this strange word mean? French critic Hugues Panassie, something of a reactionary in these things, dismissed bebop (usually known now as bop) as 'a form of music distinct from jazz' while trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie described it simply as 'just the way my friends and I feel jazz.' Saxophonist Charlie Parker, the new music's finest exponent, held a more measured view, inadvertently echoing that of Panassie when he said it was 'something entirely separate and apart.'
