Our selection of recordings for today’s show features big bands from the 1930s and 1940s. These orchestras were a mainstay of the music scene during this time, bringing jazz and popular songs to listeners around the world. We hear today from the dance and jazz bands in the US and the UK, packed with excellent musicians and featuring some lovely voices, as they progressed through the swing era and beyond. Enjoy this delightful visit to this era in music history, still as wonderful today as it was then!
