One of the great British dance bands of the 1930s, The new dance created after CHARLES LINDBERGH transatlantic crossingTHAT LINDY HOP/ When I went back home Lil ARMSTRONG and her Swing ORchestra10" 78 rpm recordCondition:VERY GOOD PLU SPLUS rubs, plays E- very quiet w some ticks The Lindy Hop is an American dance that evolved in Harlem, New York City in the 1920s and 1930s and originally evolved with the jazz music of that time. Lindy was a fusion of many dances that preceded it or were popular during its development but is mainly based on jazz, tap, breakaway and Charleston. It is frequently described as a jazz dance and is a member of the swing dance family.In its development, the Lindy Hop combined elements of both partnered and solo dancing by using the movements and improvisation of black dances along with the formal eight-count structure of European partner dances. This is most clearly illustrated in the Lindy's basic step, the swingout. In this step's open position, each dancer is generally connected hand-to-hand; in its closed position, men and women are connected as though in an embrace.The Lindy Hop was born in black communities in Harlem, New York in the United States from about 1927 into the early 1930s from four possible sources: the breakaway, the Charleston, the Texas Tommy, and the hop.[1]One alleged source of the dance's name is famed aviator Charles Lindbergh, nicknamed "Lucky Lindy" in 1926.[2] After Lindbergh's solo non-stop flight from New York to Paris in which he "hopped" the Atlantic in 1927, headlines in the newspapers in 1928 read "Lindy hops the Atlantic."[3] [ Billy Cotton Band ], (30's)

Theme: "Somebody Stole My Gal"
Overview:
Billy Cotton, who, in his earlier days before he became nationally known, was an avid sportsman, who had played for the Brentford FC. He also represented Britain, as a driver, in the ERA motor racing team. From those beginnings, Billy Cotton went on to perform on hundreds of radio, and then television, band shows. Learned to play the drums when he enlisted in the army as a young man. In the later years of WW1, he joined the RFC, where he led a band. In private correspondence, Mr. Roger Gifford has recalled: "At the time of his transfer to the RFC, it had become or was about to
become, the RAF. He had wanted to learn to fly which he did. Billy may
hold a unique place in British military history as he served in all three
services in the same war. This came about that, although he was given
permission to transfer to flying school, he had to make his own way to
England from Egypt, where he was stationed. This he did by [an acceptable
thing at the time] to sign on with the Royal Navy for one voyage and served
as a stoker on a battleship sailing to England from Alexandria. Billy had
been a drummer boy and the Regiment was Royal Fusiliers [City of London]
Regiment." He stayed in the band business after the war ended, and had a band that played at the Wembley Exhibition in 1924. However, his real break came when London's Charing Cross Road club, the 'Astoria', booked him in 1928. During the 1920's he played football, in the 1930's, was a famous race car driver, and in 1934, his band appeared in the film 'The First Mrs. Fraser'. One of his '30's band had such sidemen as Nat Gonella; Jack Doyle, and Teddy Foster. Ellis Jackson, a black American, was a featured Tap Dancer with the band. (In 1969, Ellis was 80 years old, and still active on the theater circuit.)
