I close my eyes and see the dancers moving along with the rhythm. It was a fantastic time. What a great set of songs! Superb!

I was listening to this playlist while designing costumes for a play set in 1930's New York. Excellent lineup!

Had a beautul time with your 1930s playlist as well nostalgic moments. This jazzy epoch was great to make everyone dancing.
⃠Ah, le charme de Connee Boswell ou de Lee Wiley, Paul Whiteman et son orchestre... Glad to read you will upload more of those underrated and fine bands. Merci ✬✧✬

Thanks, I'll check it out. Actually, I'm somewhat familiar with 1930s British dance bands. They do swing, despite what American jazz histories claim, if they acknowledge early British jazz at all. But I have more than a few anthologies, and was hoping to upload some here sooner or later. Thanks for the tip.
