Two hours of Big Band music hosted by Neal Murray.

The "big bands" have always been with us, but during the 1930s and 1940s they virtually owned popular music. The Swing Era, in particular defined American popular music from about 1935 to 1945. This program presents highlights throughout this era, but ranges further afield to include singers, bands and musicians as they evolve from their swing roots into some of the most popular music stars in the world. PLEASE NOTE: This program is out of production. We hope you and your audiences enjoy the archive editions of Fish Fry.
