Fine collection of tunes and bands in this “medley”....so glad the late ‘20s-early ‘30s are well represented. Pop music from that era is my personal favorite.
I love your playlists. I have to admit that I have a greater preference for the British bands (I am British and in tune with their interpretations) but, your playlists have opened my ears to the American bands that are not so 'jazzy'. I look forward to being converted a little bit more.
Thank you so much for the compliment. I also have a greater preference for the British bands from 1930 - 1938. I do have some favorite American bands from the 30's such as Freddy Martin, Paul Whiteman and Ted FioRito but I rarely have found a British band I don't care for from the 30's. I much prefer American bands of the 1920's over those from the UK.
My grandparents lived during this time and my father was born in 1926. My grandfather passed away at 77, two years before I was born. My grandmother lived to age 86 and I was very little when she passed away. I was a surprise child and the youngest of six. My father passed away when I was only 19. One of my brothers use to call me a reject from the past since I liked all this old music.
I can only confirm comments below; the tuba as bass obbligato instrument was never surpassed... for the rest, once more this selection was sensational and so utterly refined!
British dancebands OK, but the magazines are american, aren´t they? And, by the way, where have you got hold of all these amazing magazines from the period?
British magazines are very hard to find here in the states and expensive to ship here. I can't seem to find a good online source for free British magazines. One of the best sources for free material is Ebay and the centurypast.org site.
I'm a big tuba enthusiast, too -- one reason I love the Isham Jones orch. so much is that he kept that tuba, which lent such a beautiful, distinctive sound to his band, well into the '30's, after most other orchestras had abandoned the instrument in favor of the stringed-variety bass. I will point out, though, that the bass we hear in this set and music of its period is the double-bass, an acoustic instrument -- which, though different in tone from the tuba, was a far cry from the electric bass or, more specifically, bass guitar, which came into use in the '50's with the development of the first mass-produced model, the Fender Precision bass.

Oh my!! This is heaven!! What a supreme assortement of delights!!
Glad you enjoyed this post Alvaro. I was enjoying it the other day so shared it in the community section for those who might have missed it.
Super excellent with very good interesting photos
Thank You
Really like the Art Deco pics that accompany these tunes. Love the Brit dance bands. Well , I am a Brit!
Glad you liked the bands and the vintage pics. Thank you for watching!
All superb!
LOVE all the Delineator magazine covers! Fits right into my timeframe 1928-1931
Glad you like them Melanie. It is really hard to find affordable copies or even online copies of it.
Love track 5 You're the Cream in my Coffee, also track 7 You Wouldn't fool me would you ... fantastic, very jolly sounding little dance numbers.

wonderful! Thanks Pax! :-)
Welcome Neil, so you are a fan of the British bands it seems.
My Great Grandparents were lucky to the live in the 20s and im stuck in the 2000s but this music makes me feel that it is the 1920s

Boy, the tuba makes all the difference in the world, I hate electric basses.
I agree!

Yes, I love the upright bass, or as some call it, the "bass fiddle" as well!
