Jan Garber began his career on America's bandstands as a modest quartet (including his own violin) following World War I. It later emerged as a 'hot band' in the 1920s; a 'sweet' band in the early 1930s through the early 1940s; a 'swing' band during World War II; and back to the 'sweet' style permanently in late 1945.
The conoisseurs of the "hot dance music" consider Jan Garber's 1920s style as belonging to the very best achievements of the dance music of the era. Andy Razaf's "Louisiana" is a perfect example of the possibilities of that band.
Recorded for Columbia, 1928

Oh my goodness... :)) How come that I see Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber and Skrillex EVERYWHERE on Youtube if you all say you don't like them? At least respect this age the songs represent...Remember one thing: PROMOTE what you LOVE, not what you hate. (Cos by constantly keeping in mind what you dislike you are not doing any good!)10 years ago

I hate Niki Minaj and I like this music. But we have to respect all kinds of genres. All the music is good I think, even if you don't like it.10 years ago

It is isn't it! Now they sing about "real life" Songs about drug addiction sure make me happy. Obviously, I'm pulling your leg. Times then might have been hard, but the music was great!11 years ago

Thanks! Jan Garber was a nephew of my Grandmother Lily May Garber (her maiden name), and other than knowing he was a musician & orchestra leader, I knew very little about his background. So....thank you for the music and the information about him.11 years ago

Of course there are some things in our history that we aren't proud of, but the point of learning history is to learn from our mistakes. Modern times may be more tolerant of women and various races, but they have lost SO much as far as music and classiness goes; no one dresses up anymore and the music of today is just noise (this coming from someone born in '84). If we could combine the best of both eras, I believe we'd be that much closer to utopia; just takes one to make a statement.11 years ago

I love Jan Garber tunes! Thanks for posting this one! It's fun to hear how the Rhythm Boys influeneced other dance bands trios. I can almost sense them here in this hot dance tune. I played in a dance band once with a trombonist who was with the Garber band in New York in the 1960s. I was impressed!13 years ago

En los años 28 la gran orquesta de Jan Garber nos hacía bailar alegremente desde Canadá hasta Algentina. Qué bella época. Maravilloso desempolvar estos recuerdos inolvidables. Saludos desde Bogotá Colombia14 years ago
