A Proper Introduction To Bob Crosby: Big Noise From Winnetka

Bob Crosby (Bing's Younger Brother) Often Found Himself in the Strange Position of Being the 'least Important' Member of his Own Orchestra. A Singer, Crosby was Much More Important Historically as the Leader of a Memorable Swing Band that Found Its Own Style by Looking Backwards to the 1920s. The 1935-1942 Period was Crosby's Heyday, as Presented on this Proper Introduction, with his Band featuring Such Classic Soloists as Yank Lawson, Billy Butterfield, Eddie Miller, Matty Matlock, Irving Fazola, Joe Sullivan, Bob Zurke, Jess Stacy, and Muggsy Spanier. During an Era When Swing was the Thing and New Orleans Jazz was Considered by Many to Be Ancient History, Crosby's Crew Led the Way to the Eventual New Orleans Revival.
