If he had been born ten years earlier, Elliot Lawrence might have been one of the more significant bandleaders of the swing era. As it worked out, he was a bit of a prodigy, leading a strong dance band when he was only 20, but by then (1945), the swing era was ending. Today's show features music from the Hindsight record, The Uncollected Elliot Lawrence 1946. This show is chocked full of songs from the Great American Songbook. I hope you enjoy this look at a great pianist and bandleader, Elliot Lawrence. Please visit this podcast at http://bigbandbashfm.blogspot.com
