Ronald Reagan for Radio Free Europe

Hello Phantom Dancers,

Another great show for you of live 1920s – 60s radio swing and jazz this Tuesday and Saturday

Highlights include Larry Clinton & the Orchestra playing for RCA in 1938. The Clinton band was put together to spruik on NBC for RCA, sort of an early form of The Monkees, if you will. And from 1960s Sydney radio there’s a 15 minute program of songs for you by Barbara James & her husband, pianist and band leader, Reg Lewis. Both were big in the Australian jazz and swing scene from the late 1920s into the early 60s
