There were a couple of big bands in the 1940's there weren't satisfied with the typical big band sound. One was Stan Kenton and the other is the subject of our program today. Boyd Raeburn started with a dance orchestra but became dissatisfied and hired arrangers to create some non-typical big band sounds.  Now a days they sound fine but back then his band played some wild and exciting music. We'll be learning about Boyd and his band as well as listening to some of his music. Thanks again for listening. Please visit this podcast at http://bigbandbashfm.blogspot.com
