The Chicago cornetist Spanier was known primarily for playing in small groups, but for about two years he led a big band modeled on the example of Bob Crosby's Orchestra. These studio dates for Decca and live airshots from the Arcadia Ballroom feature the leader, trombonist Vernon Brown, clarinetists Irving Fazola and Tony Martell, tenor sax Nick Caiazza, pianist Dave Bowman and drummer Don Carter . .great big band swing centered on New Orleans style!
