A flight of the imagination by Leslie Perowne with some gramophone records
What sort of picture has the average swing enthusiast of that home of swing and ' hot' music—Harlem ? Certainly he must have a picture of some kind, and this is surely true in the case of Leslie Perowne , who for years has been looking after 'hot ' gramophone records for the BBC. He has never been to Harlem. But in this programme—which may or may not be the truth about that dusky quarter-he will give you his impressions of it and will play some of the numbers that may be heard any night in the famous Roseland Ballroom there. With ' Drop me off at Harlem' he will open his programme, and thereafter in word and melody he will paint a sound picture of the whole Lenox Avenue district.
