This book looks at the anatomy of a big band radio station with the
broadcasters and the songwriters. Chapters cover the early dance
bands of Paul Whiteman, Leo Reisman, Fred Waring, Casa Loma,
Coon-Sanders Nighthawks, Fletcher Henderson, Vincent Lopez, Wayne
King and covers vignettes about the ballrooms and pavillions where
the bands performed the music of America's Golden Age. Max Wirz of
Swiss radio recalls the big bands of Europe, from Syd Lawrence and
Ted Heath, right up to today's exciting Thilo Wolf and Andy Prior.
A special section covers vocalists Beryl Davis and Carmel Quin, the
Wizard of the guitar Les Paul, and magical radio journalist Sally
Bennett. The book concludes with Honourable Mentions of bands and
vocalists you may or may not know. Richard Grudens again provides a
special insight into the lives of the performers who lived within
the Jukebox of our lives in this book with over 60 exceptional
photos provided by most of the books subjects themselves.
