The Andre Kostelanetz Show

James Melton Sings Jocelyn

English · Radio

The Andre Kostelanetz Show features conductor Andre Kostelanetz leading a popular orchestra in a radio program of orchestral music and songs. This installment is identified with singer James Melton performing “Jocelyn,” bringing a vocal feature to the program’s musical presentation.

Kostelanetz’s broadcasts offered listeners a polished blend of orchestral selections and popular song, shaped by his work as a conductor and arranger. The focus is on the music: the orchestra provides the setting, while featured singers bring familiar melodies to the microphone.

With its concert-minded orchestral sound and accessible repertoire, the program offers a graceful snapshot of American radio music in the 1940s. Melton’s featured performance gives this broadcast a clear vocal centerpiece.
