Description

That Toddlin’ The city looks on the history of the white dance bands, theater orchestras, radio studio ensembles, and nightclub bands.
Charles Sengstock examines these bands now not only relating to the music they played but in addition within the context of the venues through which they performed and Chicago’s volatile economic and social climate. Viewing the bands as an economic system, he analyzes them as businesses with the entire standard pressures brought on by ambition, personality clashes, and the overriding wish to serve clients.
