Joe Venuti was an important violinist in early jazz. “Beale Street Blues”—recorded by the Lang-Venuti Orchestra in 1931—provides us with an example of Venuti’s style. This recording pairs nicely with the Muse with Violin Screen. It combines the blues composition and improvisation with a stunning piece of iron, brass, silver, and gold plating.
