Bob Crosby In Disco Order Volume Three
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Bob Crosby's orchestra occupied a curious middle ground in 1930s jazz—swinging hard enough to satisfy jazz enthusiasts, yet accessible enough for the broader dance-hall crowd. This third volume in the "Disco Order" series collects performances from the summer of 1936, a moment when Crosby's band was hitting its stride with a blend of New Orleans traditionalism and contemporary big-band arrangements. The title refers to the original 78 rpm issue order rather than any modern dance music; these sessions capture the orchestra in high spirits, moving fluidly between stomping novelties like "Sugar Foot Strut" and "My Kingdom For A Kiss," more reflective pieces such as "Pagan Love Song," and the kind of rollicking, ensemble-driven jazz that made Crosby's outfit distinct from his brother's smoother offerings. It's an excellent snapshot of a working band at play, full of the kind of spontaneous energy that defined the era.
