The 1935-1942 period was crosby's heyday, as presented on this Proper Introduction. 2004.
 

CD Reviews

WOW ! ! !
Herbert J. Straub | Ft. Lauderdale, FL | 03/09/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Wow ! What a great CD. Brings back memories to an 80 year old !



I was just looking for a Bauduc/ Haggart rendition of "Big Noise", but I got that and more.



The Bobcats were a great jazz group and each member a virtuoso, in his own right. This CD displays that characteristic of the combined group.



What a relief from the "hip-hop" of today ! The Bobcats never let the notes interfere with their feelings !"
