"The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street" was a fun program that ran on NBC for several years in the late 1940s and early 50s dedicated to live jazz performances - "barrelhouse, boogie-woogie and the blues", as they say in the program.
The episode of July 19, 1952, the last program of the series, appears not to be in circulation and may have been previously lost. The host of this particular show is the quirky actor Orson Bean and guests include Erskine Hawkins and Buddy Johnson; the first song in the show is "Riverboat Shuffle".
The program was transferred from original NBC reference acetate recorded from a network feed of the program; the recording includes an opening bumper advertising NBC's coverage of the Democratic convention and the NBC chimes at the end.Version: 20240320
