WOODY HERMAN

AND HIS ORCHESTRA

THE RADIO YEARS
Description:
Live broadcasts from The Famous Door and The Ice Terrace Room in New York City. "The band that plays the blues" as Woody's orchestra was called during the period of these broadcasts, developed out of the Isham Jones orchestra of which Woody had been a member since the spring of 1935. During 1939 good things began to happen to the boys who just wanted to play the blues. In April Woodchopper's Ball was recorded in Decca's New York studio and overnight it became a major hit. With regard to the beginning of successful popularity for the band, Woody felt it was when the band went into the new Famous Door on New York's "Swing Street." They followed Basie and Barnet and the big band fans were ready for them.
