Mound City Blues Blowers On Film

Who were ‘Our Orchestra’? We’ll hear one of their toe-tapping TRANSCO Radio Transcriptions from Hollywood in 1934 on this week’s Phantom Dancer. But who were they? Maybe you know? If so, please write and say

And, of course, this Tuesday’s and Saturday’s Phantom Dancer is jam-packed with swing and jazz from live 1920s-60s radio & TV. Tune in to hear broadcast excerpts from Duke Ellington, Bob Crosby, Benny Goodman, another swingingly unusual ultra-rare 1944 commercial recording by George Trevare and his Australians, and plenty more

See this week’s play list, broadcast times, live-stream link after the Phantom Dancer Video of the Week below. And the Video of the Week? The Mound City Blue Blowers singing and playing ‘I Ain’t Got Nobody’ and ‘My Gal Sal’. Enjoy!
