AND THE BANDS PLAYED ON An informal history of British dance bands Sid Colin

Elm Tree Books 1977.

Inbunden med skyddsomslag i gott skick, bruksspår på omslaget.

Dance band musician Sid Colin writes an evocative reminiscence of the big band dance music from 1919, when the Original Dixieland Band played in London, through the golden age of the 1930s to the big band invasion from America during the war years. It was the age of band leader as superstar – Carroll Gibbons and Fred Elizalde at the Savoy, Sydney Lipton at the Grosvenor House, Lew Stone at the Monseigneur, Jack Jackson at the Dorchester, Henry Hall on the BBC, and Ambrose at the Mayfair. The talented bandsmen, Sid Phillips, Lew Davis, Tiny Winters and Nat Gonella became stars, as well as the crooners Al Bowlly, Sam Browne, Elsie Carlisle and Vera Lynn. Foreword by George Chisholm Hardback in red cloth, pp136, well-illustrated throughout.
