There were many "sister" groups in the 20th century, but none compared to the three Boswell Sisters, who, unlike the other groups, including the more famous Andrews Sisters, were very jazz-oriented, not afraid to take chances and they could out-swing anyone. Precisely in-tune, with surprising tempo, key and mood changes in their own arrangements the New Orleans-born Sisters began their recording career in 1925, sounding like little kids on "Nights When I Am Lonely ." "Shout" chronicles the best of the Boswells' brief but amazing recording career, largely from 1930 to 1935An all-star group of top studio players including trombonist Tommy Dorsey and his brother Jimmy (on alto and clarinet), trumpeter Bunny Berigan and violinist Joe Venuti loved recording with the Sisters, who were on their level musically. Reaching their height of fame in 1932, the sisters appeared in several movies, most notably 1932's "The Big Broadcast," where they sang "Crazy People" in company with Cab Calloway, Bing Crosby and the Mills Bros. Now popular enough to introduce their own hits, like "Was That The Human Thing To Do" and "We've Got To Put That Sun Back In The Sky" rather than just cover standards and other people's hits. "There'll Be Some Changes Made" is redone by the Boswells with a surprise blues solo for Connie in the middle, and the obscure Fats Waller tune "If It Ain't Love" is remembered for this highly appealing version, as is Waller's "Old Yazoo," made immortal by the Boswells. Just as the Swing Era began in 1936 the Boswells broke up in favor of married life for Vet and Martha and a solo career for Connie that lasted until her death in 1976. 21 songs: "Forty-Second Street," "Shuffle Off To Buffalo," "If I Had A Million Dollars," "Dinah"Š these are classic jazz swing tunes that ushered in one of our favorite musical eras, and remain some of the best American music ever recorded. All accompanied by the best jazzmen o f the time.
