Album Description
Bob Crosby (Bing's brother) often found himself in the strange position of being the 'least important' member of his own orchestra. A singer, Crosby was much more important historically as the leader of a memorable swing band that found its own style by looking backwards to the 1920s. The 1935-1942 period was crosby's heyday, as presented on this Proper Introduction. 2004.

Customer Reviews

WOW ! ! !
Wow ! What a great CD. Brings back memories to an 80 year old !

I was just looking for a Bauduc/ Haggart rendition of "Big Noise", but I got that and more.

The Bobcats were a great jazz group and each member a virtuoso, in his own right. This CD displays that characteristic of the combined group.

What a relief from the "hip-hop" of today ! The Bobcats never let the notes interfere with their feelings !
