Emerging from the 'flapper' Jazz & Dixieland of the twenties, the big band was primarily for organised dances. This
type of music became incredibly popular throughout the thirties & forties and band leaders & vocalists became the
superstars of their day. It was from this fertile training ground that many of the legends of Jazz emerged from their
side man role to become front men in their own right.
The Big Bands continued right through to the late fifties before economics & changing musical fashions signalled
the end of the era.
