Volume 205: Big Band Chevy

Listen Later

Of course big bands and cars go together. The first car radio was offered by Chevrolet in 1922. As the medium became more popular and more practical for use in a vehicle, it was more than likely large jazz orchestras filling those airwaves.

This album is a really good collection of some great star band leaders along with some great versions of big hits.

So get ready to hear music that was probably coming out of the dashboard for those early drivers in Volume 205: Big Band Chevy.

More information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
