1930's Jazz Standards Part 3 - a podcast by Frank Miller

The 1930's was a time in popular music that saw many changes. Jazz standards are musical compositions that are widely known, performed and recorded by jazz artists as part of the genre's musical repertoire. In the 1930s, swing jazz emerged as a dominant form in American music. Today, we focus on the years of 1934 and 1935. The number of hit songs from these two years had dwindled down in part because of the Great Depressions. But nevertheless there were some great songs composed then and we'll learn a little bit about them as we listen to performances by the big bands.
