Singer Chick Bullock (1894-1981) remained relatively unknown in Europe, but was popular in America in the 30s. He was frequently invited as vocalist by conductors who did not have their own permanent vocalist for their record recordings. He was among others the vocalist of Duke Ellington, Mills Blue Rhythm Band and Don Redman’s orchestra. Besides this, he made recordings with bands of his own. This programme features a selection of these.

In the early thirties, piano player and vocalist Bob Howard (1906 – 1986) regularly performed in some well-known jazz clubs in New York. In 1935, Decca asked him to produce records that could compete with the well-selling recordings of pianist/singer Fats Waller and his Rhythm, contracted by RCA Victor. Accompanied by excellent jazz musicians, Howard recorded a large number of popular albums. In 1938, Decca terminated their cooperation because of failing results. Today’s programme features an ample selection of his recorded works.
