You won't believe what happened, chillldren! That crazy cat --Savior? Scourge? You tell me! You know the one-- came crawling out of the wasteland and showed up here at GNR with... A BOX OF NEW RECORDS! Seems this cat is a big fan but was getting tired of MY tunes! Do you know what a nuclear blast does to vinyl? It's not pretty. Love or hate, you have to appreci-ate this gift to the people! You're listening to Galaxy News Radio, and for the first time in years, we got some new music...

We own all the stars, and a million guitars are still playing. Darling, you are the song, and you'll always belong to my heart.

For Isabel. Joyeux anniversaire, my dear, my love, my breath, my sweet pea, my dreams, my life, my ocean xxxxxxx

The jazz music that developed in the 20's was buttoned-up, polished, and packaged for the (white) public in the 30's. Bandleaders began fusing the sounds of the previous decade with vocal arrangements, and people ate it up. All of these songs held the #1 position on the pop chart at some point from 1930 to 1935, leading to the Swing Era of the late 30's and 40's.

(23 tracks | 74 min.)

Swing & Jazz from the 20s, 30s & 40s I love to listen to while brunching on a sunday morning.

Eight tracks including music by Artie Shaw & his Gramercy Five, Benny Goodman & his Orchestra, and Boswell Sisters.

Swing sessions are pub nights that focus on great tunes from the jazz age. It's about all the lovely tunes that may get skipped for social swing dance settings. But this music deserves to be played in public for anyone to enjoy, that's why we invented swing sessions. And sure, the era had more dances than lindy hop. Here's some tracks from my set at the 1st Roffa Swingsession.

Sing with a swing
