Although his career lasted into the 1950s, George Robert "Bob" Crosby enjoyed his greatest popularity and made his best recordings during the mid- to late '30s as the leader of a swinging jazz orchestra and a solid little traditional jazz group called the Bobcats. Between them, the two ensembles cooked up large quantities of Dixieland swing and big-band dance music sprinkled with jazzy pop vocals. If his big brother Bing made a mint as the most popular singer of their generation, Bob surely struck gold as far as instrumental talent was concerned. His skilled soloists included trumpeter Yank Lawson; clarinetist Irving Fazola; saxophonist Eddie Miller; pianists Jess Stacy, Bob Zurke, and Joe Sullivan; singing guitarist Nappy Lamare; and singing, whistling bassist Bob Haggart. These are only a few of the reasons to track down a copy of Living Era's Stomp Off, Let's Go!, a collection of Bob Crosby classics recorded during the years 1936-1940. Further enticements exist here in the charming personae of guest vocalists Connee Boswell and Judy Garland. ~ arwulf arwulf, Rovi
