A Quarter Century of Swing -- Show Number 485

A Quarter Century of Swing was Armed Forces Radio's love letter to the big-band era -- a half-hour anthology of swing's golden age beamed to U.S. service members stationed overseas. Show Number 485, from September 11, 1964, gathers another set of hot, danceable big-band recordings spanning the genre's first quarter-century, bringing a warm touch of home in the form of brass, reeds, and an irresistible beat. No mystery to solve here -- just the music itself, the great orchestras that made the world want to dance.
