Funny Business - the Joel Shaw Orchestra 1932 . .Hot Dance band!

<p>The Gene Kardos Orchestra was a busy and frequently recorded band in the early 1930's - based at the Gloria Palast in the Bronx, they were one of the few white groups playing really hot dance music during the Depression years. &nbsp;While they recorded under Kardos' name (and a variety of pseudonyms) for Victor, Melotone and the ARC labels, it was featured under the name of their pianist, Joel Shaw for recordings made for the Crown label. &nbsp;These records were, if anything, hotter than the Kardos sides - featuring no well known Jazz players, this band was known to swing harder than its competition - Ben Pollack, Casa Loma and the Dorsey Brothers.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/john-clark49/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/john-clark49/support</a>
