Hotel swing, 1928-1942. When grand hotels owned their own dance bands and broadcast with their own radio towers. When fast-talking came to the movies, the unemployed dreamed of Greta Garbo, and "Ritz" was the electric sound of money.
Sixteen short tracks, announcements and interludes featuring Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, and Xavier Cugat and his Waldorf-Astoria Orchestra.
