Comment:

Lively, swinging pop music of the early 1930's. I guess some of it would have been called "jazz" at the time, but I don't think in those days jazz was a musical ghetto like it is now, it was just part of going out for a night on the town & having a good time.

Glorious stuff from an era when jazz wasn't aimless noodling but music to swing 'n' dance to. Fabilous.

Swingin' mix joey! I love the music of that era. Save me a copy please. On a side note, dig the Duke's integrated band. Another example of music bringing people together. Let's dance!

Lovely collection, Joey! This is the type of jazz which I find most accessible and ultimately the most swingin' and enjoyable. Well done!

Beats the shit outta '92, LOL! If I were alive in 1936, I'd hope this is what I'd been into.
