Fine recordings of ragtime, vintage jazz, and dance bands

The music is very nice and well played on all titles of these 12 inch 78 rpm records, but the most impressive is the quality of the sound. On top of of excellent recording, the 78 rpm reproduction and pressing exceeds to my ears the audiophile 33 and 45 rpm records currently available. It is not easy to find today high quality turntables that play in 78 rpm, but if you have one it is worth buying these unique records.

Enjoy these records very much. Great music and talent from the artists. The pressings seem to be just fine. Fast shipping was nice also.

It's nice to hear some good music from not too long ago, and you certainly have a good deal to share.

These records hold an interesting place in available material. A mixture of styles and instruments of the early 20th century, in the format of their time, but not bound by the fidelity limits of their era. Using the full bandwidth that modern disc recording is capable of, we are presented with audiophile quality sound at 78 RPM.
For those that appreciate such things, all these releases are sort of a way to “have your cake and eat it too”!

This is a fun packed album with tuneful songs which reminded me of the background music used in the Laurel
and Hardy movies.

Terrific performances here - and this Coon-Sanders fan am delighted that seven of the tracks are tunes the Nighthawks recorded. The musicians are all top-flight Chicago jazz legends, and never disappoint. Highly recommended!

A great reproduction of recordings from another time. I would love to hear more of such recordings.

If you are familiar with his youtube videos you will recognize his style. Entertaining and enjoyable as ever!

A beautiful recording. Royce Martin --unknown to me till his mention in a piece by John McWhorter-- is a treasure. His playing is both delicate and powerful, elegiac and danceable. Scott Joplin would be thrilled with Royce's treatment of his work. And Royce's original stuff on the "Deluxe" CD is entirely appropriate and compelling. Thanks to John McWhorter for turning me on to this marvelous collection; if it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me.

He makes Joplin sound a little less classical and a little more jazz.And, I admire this man’s skill. The album is a pleasure to listen to.

Checked this recording out just out of curiosity without high expectations. But it’s really wonderful. Both faithful to the original ABC full of very cool modern explorations.

Brilliant music, perfect recording.

Lovely collection of modern vinyl 78 rpm records with newly recorded old-fashioned music, love it!
UPS service in the Netherlands is not very good, but that is not the fault of Rivermont records.
Keep up the good work!

While her liner notes profess a style influenced by Al Bowlly and Cliff Edwards, I found her performances more reflective of Ruth Etting - in a manner that has never been properly captured by cinematic tributes. Her smooth, easy, slightly nasal intonation to the classics also matches the sounds of the late acoustic and early electrical recordings of these under-performed standards, but without the *clicks* and *hiss* of over-played 78s. In short, it's an evening at a speakeasy without distracting cigars or police raids.

Das Vorführen dieser Schallplatten erzeugt grosses Erstaunen und Bewunderung bei der Vorführung.
