About Crooners & Big Bands
A bandleader raises his baton and the whole room straightens up. That's the world that lives in the brass section, in the hush before a crooner steps to the microphone and every conversation at every table stops. Crooners & Big Bands gathers word searches built from that world: the smooth voices and the jazz standards they made timeless, the swing dancers cutting across a polished dance hall floor, the Rat Pack's easy confidence, the bandleaders whose names were marquee attractions all by themselves, and the warm crackle of a radio bringing all of it into the living room on a Tuesday night. Pick a puzzle that calls to you and take your time with it.
