Show detail Hide detail

Sound recording predominantly of an appearance by Moxie Whitney on the 7 November 1982 edition of the radio series Sweet, Swing and Jazz with host Jack Dawson. Whitney discusses his life and career in music, including his tenure as bandleader at the Royal York and Royal Hawaiian hotels, various artists with whom he has worked (e.g., Peggy Lee, the Mills Brothers, Tony Bennett, Sonny and Cher), and his compositions. Included is the playback of commercial recordings by the Moxie Whitney orchestra and by some of the singers with whom he has worked. Also included is the playback of an off-air dub, provided by a record collector, of a CBS remote broadcast by the Whitney orchestra from the Monarch Room of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. The host presents Whitney with a copy of his orchestra performing live at the Royal Hawaiian. Whitney discusses the recent benefit show in Ottawa that he played with Rich Little and Frank Sinatra. The Whitney segment of the programme is followed by the playback of more recorded music and by more commentary from the host. The programme that features Whitney is followed by the reading of listener mail about the Whitney appearance on a subsequent edition of the same programme. <3h 7mn>
