The Eckstine Orchestra's precious Jubilee recording captures the golden age of bebop
This work is a compilation of recordings of the Billy Eckstine Orchestra's 1945 performance on the US military program "Jubilee," and is a valuable record of the historic dawn of bebop, featuring Eckstine, Sarah Vaughan, Lena Horne, and others.
This reissue features a live performance by the Billy Eckstine Orchestra on the Armed Forces Radio Service's "Jubilee" program. Eckstine's band, which produced Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker, was known as a key band in the early days of bebop and symbolized the innovative sound of the time. This album showcases Eckstine's deep baritone and the vocals of Sarah Vaughan and Lena Horne, creating a diverse and captivating sound. The live-format recording, centered around themes like "Blue 'N Boogie," captures the excitement of swing and the emerging bebop movement of the time.
