TALKING MACHINE GROOVES

 

Air Date: October 26, 2022

"Do the young people get tired of general conversation? A Victrola will furnish the latest dance music and set their feet to sliding," so boasts the Victor Talking Machine Co. in a magazine advertisement from 1913. Dance music was HOT in the early days of commercial recording and radio broadcast. Polkas, waltzes, mazurkas, rags, fox-trots and significantly JAZZ entered homes and commercial establishments around the U.S. and across the Atlantic, changing the way people listened, performed, composed, and most importantly danced. Come listen to an hour of Antique Bangers from 1893 to 1930 by Jelly Roll Morton, James Reese Europe, Fletcher Henderson's Orchestra, The Missourians, Bix Beiderbecke and the Wolverines, Louis Armstrong and his Orchestra, the ODJB, and many more!
