Download Big Bands on One Night Stand, Volume 1 AudioBook Free
Whether you remember the big band era yourself or appreciate the amazing music of the war years and beyond, you will discover many treasures in this collection, offering 20 half-hour broadcasts dating from 1943 to 1952 and offering 20 of the top rings and musical groups so popular at the time. In addition to shows by orchestras that remain well remembered today - Jimmy Dorsey, Harry James, Stan Kenton, Ray Anthony, Louis Prima - this collection also features broadcasts by several lesser-known but evenly gifted ensembles. In rare wartime broadcasts, Charlie Spivak, Lee Castle, and Sonny Dunham show their independently unique trumpet styles; the hotel-based rings of Homosexual Claridge and Leighton Noble display their knack for soothing but effective dance music, as was so often featured in stylish high-end nightspots like New York's Waldorf Astoria and Astor Hotels; and Jan Savitt, actually a traditional violinist, integrates easy strings with bounce tunes in plans.
