Notes
The 1940s was a very transitional period for American music. While there were certainly still some Big Bands playing, many were being phased out, replaced by smaller groups, leading, in turn, to the development of Bebop Jazz. In this playlist, you'll hear all of the popular styles represented, from popular musical numbers by the likes of Bing Crosby to Swing tunes and explorative Bebop numbers.
