ON THE AIR gives contemporary listeners an aural peek into what big band-era listeners heard over the airwaves during the music's heyday. Taken from two live radio broadcasts, one from New York City's Cotton Club in 1937, the other from Boston's Southland Cafe in 1940, this sampler pulls selections from those programs, capturing Duke Ellington and his Orchestra in all their glory. Audiophiles might find the sound quality a bit questionable at times, but for many listeners, this will only enhance the age-worn aspect of these recordings, making ON THE AIR something akin to a time machine.
