Each week, Make Believe Ballroom transports you to the golden age of swing with classic big band hits from the 1930s and 1940s—the music that shaped jazz and became the foundation of the Great American Songbook.



On the air almost continuously since 1935, the program features treasured 78rpm recordings, fascinating stories of legendary bandleaders, musicians, composers, and vocalists, listener requests, and special segments that bring the era’s music and history vividly to life.
Jeff Bressler, Producer and Host.

Broadcast from the Crystal Studio in New York to public, community, and university radio stations.
On this week's program: A trivia question about a dance enjoyed by young and old alike, a groundbreaking female vocalist, some songs from the 30s that rocked in the 50s - plus many more great records and stories to cherish and enjoy on this week's broadcast.
