The Bob Crosby Orchestra was going through a personality crisis in the early '40s. Although the big band gained its fame a few years later as one of the top Dixieland bands, it was leaning toward more routine swing and commercialism by the early war years in an attempt to increase its audience; the move had the opposite effect.
