From early 1920’s music was an important part of radio programming. Getting away from the limitations
 of studio recordings and commercial interruptions remote broadcasting allowed bands to showcase their
 energy and talents in front of responsive crowds. 

From the early stars of Jazz and various styles of dance music it was the radio broadcasts of the music of
 Goodman, Miller, Dorsey and Shaw etc. that electrified audiences and gave exposure and made household 
 names of musicians and bands. The radio audience could dream of exotic nightspots as music from the
 featured bands at the Hotel Lincoln, Roosevelt Hotel, Rainbow Room, the Cotton Club etc beamed out 
 to them.
