#nowplaying A lively 1944 swing ensemble, #JanGarber and his Orchestra blend polished dance rhythms with warm brass tones, radiating post-war charm and elegance.

Jan Garber and His Orchestra were the first to record “Baby Face,” written by Harry Akst & Benny Davis. The 1926 hot jazz version, released on the Victor Records, was an immediate sensation, becoming a #1 hit in that year. #JanGarber #OneHitWondered
