27 delightful recordings by legendary comedian-singer Jimmy Durante such as I'll Do the Strut-Away in My Cut-Away.

27 delightful recordings by the legendary comedian-singer-pianist Jimmy Durante spotlight his classic MGM vocal recordings, such as I'll Do the Strut-Away in My Cut-Away and Chidabee, Chidabee, Chidabee, which were gathered together first as a 10' LP in 1952 then enlarged to a 12' LP in 1956, and which now make their stand-alone debut on CD packaged with the novel original MGM cover artwork.
Also first time on CD are Durante's complete instrumental 1959 Decca stereo album 'at the Piano: In Person,' including unusual non-vocal versions of Inka Dinka Doo and Start Off Each Day with a Song, and two wonderful (and rare) duets recorded for RCA with dramatic soprano Helen Traubel, The Song's Gotta Come From the Heart and A Real Piano Player.
In carefully-remastered sound, with new notes and a discography.
