Editorial Reviews

Fred Waring was recognised as one of the most outstanding and dynamic personalities in American show business and even if, as has sometimes been suggested, he made no mark on music history, he certainly knew what middle-America wanted. Millions tuned in to his radio and television shows to hear the lavish choral arrangements performed by the fabulous Glee Club, supported by a talented group of musicians known as The Pennsylvanians. His was the common man's approach. "We don't sing music," he told a New York Times reporter, "we sing songs.

Never heard of Fred Waring?
Well, if you or your parents have a Waring blender in your kitchen, it was invented by him.
More importantly (who needs another food processor?), Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians epitomized the image of the college frat boys in raccoon coats with ukuleles hell-bent on having a good time with flappers. Yep, they pretty much established that image and it stuck with us as a symbol of that great era.
They were a great, hot, fun dance band. Sometimes, you will hear that the white jazz bands of the twenties were not as good as the black bands. Personally, I don't like most of the black jazz bands and I prefer the more melodic music of the white bands of the twenties. I prefer melody to rhythm.
This is a great album with lots of numbers. Check out collegiate and "I say its spinach." If you love twenties music, get this.
