Saturday Nite Jamboree on CBC Newfoundland (2007) presents two rare, live recordings of this classic radio show, not heard since their original broadcast in 1963.

A kitchen party on the air, Saturday Nite Jamboree used a fast-paced, lighthearted format deftly held together by host Harry Brown and featuring performances by Newfoundland music legends at the height of their popularity.

These recordings offer a glimpse into an era when live entertainment shows still had a regular spot in radio programming. A must for any music collection.

Praise for Saturday Nite Jamboree

“A wonderful resource not just for music, but for the appreciation of radio broadcasting at the time. This CD provides a useful example of the intersections between technology (radio, recording) and live music making, as well as the junctures between traditional and popular musics.”
