Rapidly Rotating Records

Welcome to Glenn Robison’s Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78 RPM records of the 1920s and ’30s.

Around this time of the year, a number of composers, songwriters and bandleaders sometimes don’t get featured so that we can present vintage Christmas music on our special Christmas show. Because of that, and at the suggestion of listener Rich, this evening, we’ll make up for some of that by celebrating the birthdays of Oscar Levant, Kid Ory, Ted FioRito, Nat Shilkret and Cab Calloway.
