Casa Loma Orchestra - 'Casa Loma Stomp' (1930)

"Between 1930 and 1935... the Casa Loma Orchestra dominated the dance band world with a blend of intensely played hot jazz specialties and smoothly scored ballads. No other band of the day... could rival it for popularity, precision, and team spirit, or for the ability to bring dancers to the floor and raise the temperature of any gathering. No band of those years was more frequently discussed, more widely admired, or emulated."
- Richard M. Sudhalter "Lost Chords"
