‘Cream of the Alley’ was a 1970s American radio program. An episode focussing on the music of George Gershwin was produced by George Bassman, an American composer and arranger.
He was eminently qualified to produce a radio program about the music of George Gershwin. In 1960, he produced a box set of three LP records entitled ‘The Gershwin Years’ with full orchestra, chorus and soloists all under his direction. Many tracks from that recording are utilized in the radio program.
Introduced by Len Power, the first of a two part presentation of George Bassman’s radio program on George Gershwin’s music, ‘Cream of The Alley’, can be heard this Saturday 31st July at 4pm on Artsound Fm 92.7.
