Big Round Records is proud to present Berl Olswanger in the Studio, a piano-centric album that transports listeners back to 1950’s Memphis TN where the late artist captured a number of exuberant works. Olswanger delivers music that fortifies his moniker as “Mr. Music of Memphis,” capturing the popular sounds of the era with a smooth balance of energetic musicality and technical proficiency. From the strong stride piano solo in Chicken Bone Man and fluttering fills in Tennessee Skidoo, to the tender ballads I Spend My Day with Thee and Snow Falling, Olswanger once again solidifies his status as a legend in this release.

Blues and big band lovers are in for a swingin' treat with Big Round Records' new archival recording of BERL OLSWANGER AND THE OLSWANGER BEAT, the label’s third released recording by “Mr. Music of Memphis." Olswanger, whose musical career spanned over a half-century, could easily be called a jack-of-all-trades: a popular bandleader, a prolific composer of swing music, a serial entrepreneur, and a wildly successful teacher bringing the art of music-making to the masses.
