	Solid! -- Bob Crosby
		Bob Crosby is best remembered for the Dixieland band that bore his name during the 1930s and early 1940s.
		Crosby turned out to be the perfect front man. A friendly fellow who had a way with the crowd, he respected and admired all the musicians and made no effort to exert his influence on them, letting Rodin quietly run things behind the scenes.
		Crosby, who wanted the show to be aired in the evening, took it to NBC in 1958, where it premiered as a summer replacement series.

		Although as a vocalist he may not have achieved the widespread fame of his elder brother, among crooners Bob Crosby had a distinctive timbre and a confident way with a ballad.
		He was also Bob’s own personal manager, remaining faithful until the organisation disbanded in 1942, when several of its members, including Rodin himself, were drafted into the US forces.
		Under Rodin’s guidance the Crosby Orchestra swiftly became the Swing Era’s pre-eminent, all-white, dixieland big-band, albeit the band’s earliest critics viewed its slavish homage to traditional 1920s Chicago and New Orleans as obsolescent and retrograde.

	Jazz by Mail - Bob Crosby The Original
		Bob Crosby''s greatest claim to fame, besides being Bing''s younger brother, was the Dixieland band that bore his name.
		Considered one of the greatest jazz bands of all time, the Bob Crosby Orchestra, and its combo side group, the Bob Cats, was actually led by sax player Gil Rodin.
		Crosby himself was simply the front man. Bob got his first break in show business when bandleader Anson Weeks offered him a singing job in 1931.

		Bob Crosby, Bing's younger brother, often found himself in the odd position of being the least important member of his own orchestra.
		To Crosby's credit, he seemed aware of his predicament and not uncomfortable at allocating most of the solo space to his talented sidemen, featuring them with his big band and his Bobcats, the latter a hot Dixieland band taken out of his orchestra.
		The orchestra broke up in late 1942, Crosby served in the Marines during 1944-1945, and then spent the rest of his life in a variety of activities, often bringing back versions of the Bobcats for special concerts and recordings, taking an occasional vocal but mostly letting his sidemen play.

		When Bob Crosby died in 1993, Ed Metz and Bobby Levine, his longtime friend and partner, negotiated with the Crosby family and secured the rights to continue appearing as the "Bob Crosby Orchestra and Bob Cats." Since Bobby Levine's death in 1997, the venture has continued under pianist-arranger Ed Metz's leadership.
		The Bob Cats have tightly arranged ensembles with free-flowing improvisational passages, stirring solos, and impeccable rhythmic support from Ed Metz, on piano, Bob Leary, guitar, Carl McVicker, string bass, and Eddie Metz at the drums.
		Bob Zurke's "Big Foot Jump" was recorded by the Bob Cats less than a week after young clarinetist Irving Fazola joined the band.

		A founder member in 1935, he was the last survivor of the Crosby orchestra, one of the outstanding bands of the Swing Era.
		Heavy drinking had been even more a feature of life in the Crosby group than it had been in most big bands, and the habit had become an ingrained problem for Haggart and his wife by the Fifties.
		He was pleased, soon after, when, their paths crossing at an airport, Gerry Mulligan ran over to him to say that he thought the writing on the album was magnificent.

		While Bob's nose was often Bing's verbal target, Hope kidded a myriad of Crosby characteristics, from protruding ears to a modest paunch.
		Thus, in "Road to Rio," Bob refers to Bing as everything from "lobster ears" to "bean belly." Hope's favorite Crosby target was the crooner's voice.
		In returning to the eight fundamental parameters of parody, as defined by the joint Road adventures of Bob and Bing, the third spoofing basic is that this genre should not be confused with satire.

		Crosby spotted an immediate advantage to pre-recording his program on audio tape—scheduling shows in advance would free up more spare time for him to indulge in his outside interests, like golfing and horse racing.
		Crosby had launched a “transcribed” revolution; his friend Bob Hope soon followed his lead, and was joined later still by the other popular comedians (like Jack Benny) as well.
		Bob Hope’s passing in July of this year rang down the curtain on an amazing career that breathlessly encompassed stage, screen, radio, and television.

		Reviewing Bing and Bob's "Road to" pictures is like saying of ice cream, "tastes good." We would no sooner think deeply about Rocky Road than "Road to Singapore." But I'm going to make a few observations anyway.
		The spontaneity of Hope and Crosby in these films is legendary-- the way they turn to the camera from time to time and talk to the audience, and how they insert their own lines (each paying his own group of writers on the side to outdo the other in the laugh department).
		It would be impossible to recapture the chemistry of Bing, Bob and Dorothy, to make movies that are so funny yet so musical, with humor that is safe enough for young kids but edgy enough for adults.

		An ok singer, Crosby was much more important as the leader of a memorable swing band that found its own style by looking backwards at the 1920's.
		After stints with Anson Weeks in 1932 and The Dorsey Brothers' orchestra during 1934-5, Crosby was voted the frontman of a new big band that was formed out of the remains of Ben Pollack's orchestra.
		The orchestra broke up in late 1942, Crosby served in the Marines during 1944-45 and then spent the rest of his life in a variety of activities, often bringing back versions of The Bobcats for special concerts and recordings, taking an occasional vocal but mostly letting his sidemen play.

	Bob Haggart Page in Fuller Up, The Dead Musicians Directory
		His first significant work in jazz was as a bassist with the Bob Crosby band, to which he added not just his bass work but arrangements that often proved to be classics, including "What's New," "South Rampart Street Parade" and "The Big Noise from Winnetka," a duet for bass and drums.
		In the '90s Haggart recorded regularly with the clarinetist Kenny Davern and the saxophonist Bob Wilber, along with the pianist Jane Jarvis and the saxophonist Rick Fay.
		This new outfit, under the nominal leader-ship of Bob Crosby, became one of the great successes of the swing era, combining as it did the currently popular dance band music with an exhilarating two-beat Dixieland style.

		I hasten to add that occasional off-the-cuff moments were preserved, such as when the aforementioned camel adlibbed a bit of spit in the direction of Bob and Bing, with "Morocco" director David Butler keeping the boys' joint expression of comic surprise in the finished version.
		In contrast to their casual naturalness, the final parody trait demonstrated by the Road pictures is a self-conscious awareness of the moviemaking experience--what some critics call "genre genre." While examples abound in Hope and Crosby's joint adventures, this cinema self-consciousness most complements "Utopia," especially as it involves celebrated period humorist Robert Benchley.
		Russell's cameo was also a nice plug for Bob's "Son of Paleface," which had opened shortly before "Bali" and costarred the voluptuous actress.
