Product Description
Bob Crosby (Bing's brother) often found himself in the strange position of being the 'least important' member of his own orchestra. A singer, Crosby was much more important historically as the leader of a memorable swing band that found its own style by looking backwards to the 1920s. The 1935-1942 period was crosby's heyday, as presented on this Proper Introduction. 2004.

During an Era When Swing was the Thing and New Orleans Jazz was Considered by Many to Be Ancient History, Crosby's Crew Led the Way to the Eventual New Orleans Revival.

5 out of 5 stars WOW ! ! !.......2007-03-09

Wow ! What a great CD. Brings back memories to an 80 year old !

I was just looking for a Bauduc/ Haggart rendition of "Big Noise", but I got that and more.

The Bobcats were a great jazz group and each member a virtuoso, in his own right. This CD displays that characteristic of the combined group.

What a relief from the "hip-hop" of today ! The Bobcats never let the notes interfere with their feelings !
