Philharmonic Chamber Soloists, a chamber group of virtuoso musicians from the New York Philharmonic, present a historic re-recording of the 1942 Decca release of original songs by Jerome Kern, arranged for string quartet by Hollywood arranger Charles Miller. Also on this album are eight magnificent selections from the American Songbook arranged in the 1940s by Wladimir Selinsky for his NBC radio show, Strings in Swingtime. This is the first time these arrangements have been recorded; in addition to string quartet, the performances feature guest artists from the New York Philharmonic on bass, harp, and vibraphone.
