On today’s show we listen to some early jazz and popular music. In recordings from the 1920s and 1930s we feature singers, small groups and big bands as they were starting out on what would prove for most of them to be long careers performing in the music field. We hear from familiar names like Benny Goodman, the Dorsey Brothers, Bille Holiday and Lena Horne. Listen to to a delightful piano medley from Charlie Kunz, and to Allan Jones with the classic “Make Believe” from Jerome Kern’s legendary musical “Showboat”. The sounds are as rich as they are varied — enjoy them in this tour of music from the early days!
