Chuck Foster & His Orchestra - At The Blackhawk Restaurant 1944 45 Broadcasts From Chicago

Review by Linda Pretorius

At The Blackhawk Restaurant 1944 45 Broadcasts From Chicago by Chuck Foster & His Orchestra is a must-have album for any jazz enthusiast. The album features live recordings of the orchestra's performances at the legendary Blackhawk Restaurant in Chicago during 1944 and 1945.

Chuck Foster & His Orchestra deliver an outstanding performance on this album, showcasing their exceptional musical skills and mastery of the jazz genre. The album features a range of classic jazz tunes, including "Stompin' at the Savoy," "Perdido," and "One O'Clock Jump," as well as lesser-known tracks that are equally impressive.

The live recordings capture the energy and excitement of the Blackhawk Restaurant performances, with the audience's cheers and applause adding to the overall atmosphere of the album. The sound quality of the recordings is excellent, considering they were made over 75 years ago.

About Chuck Foster & His Orchestra

Very popular American big band. In the 1960s and 1970s, the band played west of Chicago, Illinois at the Melody Hill Ballroom, the Biltmore Bowl in Los Angeles, the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, the Roosevelt in New Orleans, the Muehlbach Hotel in Kansas City, and the Aragon Ballroom and the Blackhawk Restaurant in Chicago. The band was labeled "Music in the Foster Fashion" and their theme song was "Oh, You Beautiful Doll". Besides his own abilities, what helped Foster to remain popular into the 1970s was the fact that he had loyal, talented musicians working for him. Most of the personnel in his band stuck around for a long time, including trumpeter Don Crawford; trombonist Dick Arant; lead alto saxophonist Bill Gee; tenor saxophonist Wayne Harden; another saxophonist, Jimmy Castle (who also sang); pianist Hal Pruden; bassist Stewart Strange; drummer Bob Simpson; and vocalists Dorothy Brandon or Dottie Dotson. It was stated that in 1941-42 Foster and his orchestra traveled more than 50,000 miles in private automobiles and played in 28 states, mostly one-night stands or theaters, with a few steady gigs in hotels and ballrooms.
