Jerry Jerome is fondly remembered as the jazz tenor man in the first Glenn Miller orchestra and in the top-of-the-line big bands of Red Norvo, Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw in the late '30s and early '40s, but that is only part of the story. To the great pleasure and wonderment of all, Jerry was still going strong and, in many ways, playing better than ever as the Something Blue portion of this 2-CD set, made shortly before his 89th birthday, so eloquently attests. In the Something Borrowed CD, Jerry is showcased on a treasure trove of rare recordings spanning the period from 1939 to 1964 in the company of some of the outstanding musicians of the period. Adding to the enjoyment are Jerry's spoken introductions to each group of historic selections making this a unique autobiographical document.
