The music presented in this wide ranging compilation comes from a more innocent age than ours – a time in the middle years of the Twentieth Century when social dancing was a world-wide phenomenon and people craved the excitement afforded by the live presence of a big band. Everyone wanted toe-tapping music so that they could ‘cut a rug’ on the dance floor and a host of fine touring orchestras fed this apparently insatiable demand, fueling a fashion which took several decades to decline and fall.
Whether it was for the high-school ‘prom’ (so much loved by Hollywood film-makers) or just for that end-of-the-week night out, dancers in America, and for that matter, in England, too, knew exactly what was needed. They looked for danceable tempos, alluring sounds, personable sidemen, smart presentation and pleasing vocal interjections from a girl singer (described by Down Beat as a ‘chirp’ in the vernacular of the day). Those in the know would also be looking for jazz value, watching out for star instrumentalists and responding to swinging numbers by the best composers and arrangers. Magazines like ‘Down Beat’ and Metronome kept their readers posted on the movements of top musicians, flagging up the working rosters and tours undertaken by the big bands, and previewing their many appearances in films and on record.

Of course, for the greater part of the Twentieth Century, America was a divided society with black Americans enjoying (or rather, enduring) separate, and nearly always unequal, public facilities. Inevitably, this division covered most aspects of entertainment, with blacks-only clubs and dance halls in what was then called the ‘coloured section’ of town hosting the touring black orchestras. With few hotels available to them, musicians often stayed with friendly local families or slept in the band bus before setting off for the next night’s work. In some cases, dances were given for both races, with a rope dividing one side of the dance floor from the other, but with no intermixing of the two groups allowed.
Yet despite these restrictions, or even because of them, black bands thrived, producing outstanding soloists and setting the pace musically for their white counterparts.
