78 rpm Shellac – Woody Herman – The Evening / Dallas Blues (Decca)
New!
Description
A vintage 1939 78 rpm shellac record on the Decca label featuring Woody Herman and His Orchestra, performing “The Evening” backed with “Dallas Blues”. These recordings capture Herman’s early swing‑era sound, blending tight orchestral arrangements with the rhythmic drive that later made him one of the major bandleaders of American jazz. Surface marks typical of shellac are present, but nothing that detracts from playability. A solid example for collectors of early swing, Decca issues or Woody Herman’s pre‑Herd recordings. A characterful and atmospheric 78 from one of the most influential bandleaders of the swing era.
Artist & Label Notes
Woody Herman built his reputation through energetic swing arrangements and a distinctive band sound that later evolved into the famous “Herds”. His early recordings on Decca remain popular with collectors for their strong musicianship and classic label styling. Decca’s 78 rpm catalogue covered a wide range of jazz, dance and popular music, making it one of the most recognisable labels of the shellac era.
