This is the ultimate competition between the most well known big bands from 1930-1960. Each battle will be between two bands from the same time period (or close). We will be listening to one song from each band and voting. The band with the most votes will progress to the next round. Each round will take one class period, so don't put this off until the end of the week! Next week we will be listening to bands from 1960 to the present. Be sure you can talk about why you voted the way you did in case you are asked about it... hint hint. Good topics include the band's personnel, performance style, and compositional style. One more thing... picking only 8 bands from 1930-1960 is incredibly difficult, and I definitely made some hard choices. If your favorite band isn't here, don't fret. They still rock. I may have just overlooked them. Happy listening!
