The Great Band Era was a huge and marvelous musical bazaar--a bubbling,
exciting mixture of
places, names, melodies and events. It was a time when the late-night
air was filled with
music...when even casual listeners knew who played trumpet with Benny
Goodman, and who
Glenn Miller's saxophonists were. Here are all the Great Bands, their
theme songs and the
greatest hits from the years 1936-1945.
I'm Gettin' Sentimental Over You (Tommy Dorsey)
Take the 'A' Train (Duke Ellington)
Christopher Columbus (Benny Goodman)
Moon Over Miami (Eddy Duchin/Lew Sherwood, Vocal)
Frenesi (Artie Shaw)
All or Nothing at All (Freddy Martin/Clyde Rogers, Vocal)
Chattanooga Choo-Choo (Glenn Miller/Tex Beneke and the Four Modernaires,
Vocal)
and many, many more...
