Happy Birthday Artie Shaw Part 2

Our birthday salute continues this week with part two featuring Artie's performances on the Victory Parade of Spotlight Bands. In August 1942, Coca Cola entered into an agreement with the Blue Network to launch the revised Spotlight Bands series. The Blue Network was the former NBC Blue Network. The name of the program was changed to The Victory Parade of Spotlight Bands.The weeknight programs were extended from fifteen minutes to twenty five minutes. These two sets have some of your favorite Shaw songs. Happy Birthday Artie.

Om Podcasten

Big Band Bash is a show presenting the music, musicians, and era of the great Big Bands. Each show highlights a different aspect of the big bands, whether it be a show about a certain band or bandleader or a subject of the big bands anywhere from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. I hope to get your feet tapping with this great music.
