Jazz Archives for June 28, 2009
1:00 PM - 1:30 PM
Today's Highlight: "Early Southside Chicago Big Bands"
Before the Big-Band Swing era was in full-flourish in the mid-1930s, the mid-/late-1920s is when all of the groundwork was laid down for the formation and development of the Jazz orchestras; that is, Jazz bands with more than six pieces. This week, we'll focus on the city of Chicago and several of the prominent early Big Bands performing on the black SouthSide of town
Montana Public Radio’s Joe Korona produces and hosts Jazz Archives, taking us through the evolution of various genres of music—ragtime, blues, small-group swing, big-band swing, boogie-woogie, bebop and more. Jazz Archives focuses on musical personalities and characters as well as instruments and styles.
