Description:
Charlie claims he never intended to be a social reformer, but was only looking for the best musicians available. Still, this took a lot of guts in the America that existed back in the thirties and forties, and apparently that was something Charlie had plenty of. He was a major player in the big band era and a generous contributor to that American cultural wonder known as jazz. So, step into your entertainment center Time Machine, fiddle with the control buttons at the dial for the forties, and WHOOSH! |
