Hey there everyone!
I hope you are all having a great 2025 so far! The numbers for Swing City Radio have been through the roof over the last few months. It makes me so happy that even after all of these years the station continues to draw more listeners week after week.
As you all know by now, I continue to add new tracks to keep things fresh on the station. Here's a brief breakdown of a couple dozen tracks I'm adding this month:
Jimmy Dorsey
Selected tracks from a show that Jimmy did to support the U.S. Treasury War Bond Drive in 1943. Keep an ear out for a fantastic version of "Murder, He Says" sung by Kitty Kallen and a blistering rendition of "One O'clock Jump". Jimmy was definitely jammin' on this performance.
Glenn Miller
I'm always on the look out for Glenn Miller content. He's always been one of my favorites. I've recently cleaned up some music from a Basic Music Library Transcription Disc issued by the AFRS. Tracks include live performances of "The Weekend Of A Private Secretary", "Whatcha Know Joe", "Dancing In A Dream" and "High On A Windy Hill". Great stuff!
I'm also adding music by Connee Boswell, Freddie Rich and Mildred Bailey from a show called "It's Florida's Treat" that originally aired in 1937. And selected tracks from an April 1951 episode of "Jazz Club USA" featuring Buddy Johnson and Cootie Williams.
Also, I want to wish Ray Anthony a belated Happy Birthday. He turned 102 years old last month.
Enjoy the music!
