5.0 out of 5 stars Waring's Pennsylvanians: symbol of the roaring twenties, July 3, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: We All Scream for Ice Cream [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED] (Audio CD)
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.
