| The Big Band Era gave us more than a treasure trove of great "standards": it moved America closer to racial equality. Over several decades, the Big Bands gradually erased lines of racial segregation, as black and white musicians played together and white audiences became enthusiastic fans of black dance bands. Enjoy the music of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Eddie Duchin, Louis Armstrong, Glenn Miller and more. Guest appearance by Emily Bear. |
