[TPIN] Beginning of the End?

[Steve Evans]

I ran across this article from Down Beat, August 1, 1942.

http://www.swingmusic.net/Big_Band_Era_Recording_Ban_Of_1942.html

While not directly trumpet related, I'm sure this had a huge affect on many trumpet
players of the time and many more in the future. In fact, reading the article, I'm sure
this had a huge impact on college music programs at that time as well.

I had heard of the recording ban but never knew anything more about it. This was an
eye-opener - an interesting piece of our musical history for better or worse. 

Was it really the beginning of the end of the big band era? 

You decide.

...Steve
