"The Postwar Years" Time Life - The Swing Era Part 1


Listen Later

This week I am going back to another set in the Time Life series "The Swing Era". Today's show is called "The Postwar Years" and features songs from the years after World War II. There are only a couple more volumes in this set and the producers of the series stopped using individual years and lumped several years together. So today, we'll be hearing from the bands of Tommy Dorsey, Stan Kenton, Les Brown, Lionel Hampton, Woody Herman, and Harry James and several others. There are some great songs in this set so let's go back to the years right after World War II and hear some exciting music from the big bands. As always I am following the playlist from the original set and playing the original artists instead of the recreations. Please visit this podcast at http://bigbandbashfm.blogspot.com
