Melodies We Love: The Thirties presents twelve of the greatest songs–known by musicians as “standards”– from America’s rich popular music heritage. From Jerome Kern’s sophisticated The Way You Look Tonight to the Irving Berlin favorite Cheek to Cheek, you’ll enjoy Jim Gibson’s quiet, masterful solo piano improvisations.

These are songs that live on for a very good reason . . . they are simply wonderful.

The nineteen-thirties was a stunning decade in American popular music, with great composers like Jerome Kern, Jimmy McHugh, Richard Rodgers, Irving Berlin, Hoagy Carmichael and many others writing great songs that became huge hits . . . songs that are still popular after many decades have passed.

In today’s world of throw-away music, it’s remarkable to note how these great songs have endured, and when you hear Jim’s skillful playing you’ll remember why.

Great melodies. Great harmonies. And Jim’s unusual blending of styles. It all fits together beautifully in a relaxing, soothing tribute to what might be the greatest period of American popular music.
