Victor Arden and Phil Ohman are well-known names on piano rolls, and
they also performed as a two-piano team in the Gershwin shows and on
record.  As entertaining as their piano rolls, this new CD has 25 of their
old audio recordings, from the 1921 ditty "I've Got The Wonder Where
He Went And When He's Coming Back Blues (introducing Cry Baby Blues)"
to "No Strings" of 1935.

From the album notes: 'In summing up their career, the critic Gay Stevens
wrote:  "There is not a piano player in the land who, after hearing Ohman
and Arden interpret a piece of jazz music on their two pianos, has not
wanted to throw his piano out of the window.  The keyboard magic of this
duo-team has been the inspiration and despair of every real American
youngster who sedulously practiced his Czerny with a secret desire to win
excited gasps of admiration from the fair young things in his circle by
his jazz piano playing."'
