| | Bob Crosby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | His most famous band was the Bobcats, who were a Dixieland jazz group from within the Bob Crosby Orchestra. | | | Both the Bob Crosby Orchestra (big band) and the "Bobcats" small-group specialized in "dixieland" jazz, presaging the traditional jazz "revival" of the 1940's. | | | Among his hits included "Summertime" (theme song), "In A Little Gypsy Tea Room," "Whispers In The Dark," "South Rampart Street Parade," "March Of Teh Bobcats," "Day In, Day Out," "You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby," "Dolores" and "New San Antonio Rose" (last three with Bing Crosby), among others. |

| | Solid! -- Bob Crosby |
| | The Bob Crosby Orchestra, along with its combo side group, the Bob Cats, was considered one of the greatest jazz bands of all time. | | | The band's rhythm section was led by drummer Ray Bauduc and bassist Bob Haggart. | | | The two-beat Dixieland style they aggressively played was considered old-fashioned by many of the young hipsters who flocked around Goodman, but those worldly enough to appreciate them recognized the immense talent the band possessed and the fantastic music it produced. |

| | To Crosby's credit, he seemed aware of his predicament and not uncomfortable at allocating most of the solo space to his talented sidemen, featuring them with his big band and his Bobcats, the latter a hot Dixieland band taken out of his orchestra. | | | The orchestra broke up in late 1942, Crosby served in the Marines during 1944-1945, and then spent the rest of his life in a variety of activities, often bringing back versions of the Bobcats for special concerts and recordings, taking an occasional vocal but mostly letting his sidemen play. | | | An okay singer, Crosby was much more important as the leader of a memorable swing band that found its own style by looking backwards to the 1920s. |

| | Most of the Crosby musicians had worked in the dance band led by Ben Pollack. | | | When Pollack began to neglect the band in favor of an actress his musicians dumped the band's library on Pollack's doorstep and went off to form a band dedicated to recreating classic jazz rather than dance music. | | | The band took its music from the classic jazz repertoire of the Twenties. |

| | Popular Music and Society: Going Places Doing Things |
| | The tunes on this CD were originally recorded by the full Crosby orchestra or the Bob Cats during the first six years that Crosby fronted the co-op organization. | | | During the Swing Era, when the big bands prospered with an innovative approach to popular music, the Bob Crosby orchestra and the Bob Cats, the "band within the band," successfully reintroduced tunes from the presumably "outdated" jazz age. | | | The Bob Cats have tightly arranged ensembles with free-flowing improvisational passages, stirring solos, and impeccable rhythmic support from Ed Metz, on piano, Bob Leary, guitar, Carl McVicker, string bass, and Eddie Metz at the drums. |

| | In 1942 he left the Crosby band to freelance in New York, working in recording studios and in radio and television. | | | Haggart remains a popular figure at festivals and at reunions of the Crosby band, touring the USA and Europe as band-leader and sideman and making records, including some more with Lawson. | | | That number, which he composed and recorded with the drummer Ray Bauduc in 1938, opens with drums, has stop-time sections, slapped bass and a rare musical virtuosity. |

| | The Bob Crosby Bob Cats -- Introduction |
| | Since they first appeared in 1937 as a band within a band, the Bob Cats have been recognized around the world for their hard swinging musicianship as well as for their ability to deliver smooth, danceable ballads. | | | Along with its traditional Chicago-style structure, the Bob Cats perform customized arrangements that showcase its soloists and sub-units within the band. | | | During a long jazz festival weekend wherein the band might play 100 selections, rarely is any tune repeated, except by strong urging from our audience. |

| | In returning to the eight fundamental parameters of parody, as defined by the joint Road adventures of Bob and Bing, the third spoofing basic is that this genre should not be confused with satire. | | | Russell's cameo was also a nice plug for Bob's "Son of Paleface," which had opened shortly before "Bali" and costarred the voluptuous actress. | | | As a footnote to this six-shooter slant, the genre that easily seems to have inspired the greatest number of film parodies is also, appropriately, considered the most inherently American--the western. |

| | Surprisingly, Crosby croons only once, on “Howdja Like to Love Me.” Bing’s baby brother led a pretty good trad—style band for its time, which is apparent on these broadcasts, even though the low—grade source material reduces considerably its presumable impact. | | | The Woody Herman Orchestra / Ina Ray Hutton Orchestra / Bob Crosby's Bobcats | | | The band swings easily (for an example, check out Ellington’s “Ring Dem Bells”), and sound quality is marginally better than on the Herman broadcasts, although the playing time (52:02) is about ten minutes shorter. |

| | Later in 1934 he joined Ben Pollack and was with that band when it broke up in California. | | | Although as a vocalist he may not have achieved the widespread fame of his elder brother, among crooners Bob Crosby had a distinctive timbre and a confident way with a ballad. | | | Under Rodin’s guidance the Crosby Orchestra swiftly became the Swing Era’s pre-eminent, all-white, dixieland big-band, albeit the band’s earliest critics viewed its slavish homage to traditional 1920s Chicago and New Orleans as obsolescent and retrograde. |
