Various ArtistsBOOGIE WOOGIE Vol. 3 - The Big Bands
This third and final Volume in the series showcases
the zenith of Boogie Woogie, an elevation to a sophisticated, multi-layered
music form of Big Band arrangements which for a period through the late 1930s
into the 1940s dominated dance halls on both sides of the Atlantic. With the
rough edges removed and a smoother but equally infectious rhythm in place,
Boogie Woogie became the preferred music of a younger generation, offering the
chance to "jive" and gyrate on the dance floor in a manner hitherto taboo, an
example of black American minority culture infiltrating, albeit in a modified
format, the prevailing white society.
