IHTSB ARCHIVES



During the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, the studios of several independent jazz labels in New York were home to many of the fine musicians around at the time. They produced hundreds of recordings, all performed by small jazz groups and created an immense treasury of their art that we continue to enjoy — as we often do on IHTSB. Today’s show is another episode celebrating their work in these sessions. We’ll hear some familiar names and some favourite songs, all combining to produce a wonderful listening experience!
