I Bring to You Sweet Music is a detailed 25-track set chronicling the output of sweet bandleader Geraldo (Gerald Bright) for Columbia, Decca, and Parlophone Records. Recorded between 1934-1944, the material lacks the torrid tempos and inventive charts of the better-known swing bands of the era. Still, die-hard collectors will appreciate the contributions of such top British jazz musicians as Ted Heath, Jiver Hutchinson, and Billy Amstell, along with featured vocalists Carole Carr, Cyril Grantham, and Al Bowlly.
