In the early 30s he recorded with Red Nichols and in 1935 was in the band assembled by Glenn Miller that played...

Dorothy Shay Her Life and Music

Shay was born Dorothy Sims in Jacksonville, Florida. When she began her career as a 'straight' singer, she took vocal lessons to lose her Southern accent. She sang for the USO during World War II. Dorothy changed her name to "Shay" in order to not be confused with Ginny Simms, another performer of the day, choosing "Shay" to honor her mentor Betty Shay (Betty Shay later became Betty Corday when she married Ted Corday, producer of Days of our Lives) While performing with Morton Gould and his...

Roy Bargy His Life and Music

Bargy's work for the Benson Orchestra established him as a triple-threat talent, and his services were soon sought out by other bands. In late 1921, after a falling out with Benson, Bargy left and formed his own orchestra, taking many members of the group with him. He disbanded a few years later and joined the band led by composer-saxophonist Isham Jones. In 1928, Bargy began a twelve-year association with Paul Whiteman's great dance orchestra as pianist/arranger. Now his experience in...

Benny Goodman Swing School 8-24-37

By 1929, Goodman was living in New York, where he organized his first swing band, in 1934. The group became one of the first successful swing bands. At his peak in the mid 1930s, Goodman landed a regular slot on the radio series Let's Dance. After the show was canceled, in 1935, the band struggled, playing one-night stands to unappreciative audiences craving traditional dance music, not newfangled swing. But on August 21, 1935, the band gave a famous performance at the Palomar Theater in Los...

Artie Shaw (Best of Live Broadcasts) 1939-1943 Part 002

Artie Shaw was a leading jazz clarinetist and big band leader of the mid-20th century. His 1938 recording of Begin the Beguine made him a popular rival to superstar clarinetist Benny Goodman. Shaw developed a reputation as a reluctant and somewhat grouchy genius; his big bands were roaring successes but he frequently broke them up, only to form new bands months or years later. He also dabbled in symphonic music and avant-garde jazz combos and led a U.S. Navy big band during World War II....
