Harry JAMES & His Orch.Meadowbrook Memories
In the golden age of radio in America, when the big
dance bands reigned supreme, one of the most eagerly awaited moments came when
the on-location announcer said: "From Frank Dailey's Meadowbrook on Route 23,
the Newark-Pompton Turnpike in Cedar Grove, New Jersey, CBS [or it may have been
NBC or Mutual] presents the music of.…" These words were followed by the name of
the featured band and, simultaneously, a familiar theme came floating across the
airwaves. Invariably, any identification of the band was hardly necessary as the
opening signature music alone was enough, such were the many top bands that
played this highly popular venue. Glenn Miller, the Dorseys, Benny Goodman,
Larry Clinton and Harry James were Meadowbrook regulars from the late 1930's
into the 1940's. Also available JASBOX2-4, JASCD375, JASMCD2533.
