The Original Big Band Showcase with Denny Farrell

Meet your host, Denny Farrell — Big Band Hall of Fame inductee and winner of the National Ballroom & Entertainment Association’s Award for outstanding radio programming.

Rated as one of the top broadcasters in the country in his distinctive format, Denny blends Swing, Sweet, Dixieland, and Jazz into a show that keeps the dance floor alive — whether you’re listening in a ballroom or in your living room.

Announcing chores have tied him to such greats as: Count Basie, Tony Bennett, Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton, Sammy Kaye, Bob Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Ralph Marterie, Harry James, Benny Goodman, Buddy Rich, Guy Lombardo, Maynard Ferguson, Mel Tormé, Ella Fitzgerald, Red Norvo, Helen Forrest, Peggy Lee, Artie Shaw, The Glenn Miller Orchestra (with Larry O’Brien), The Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra (with Lee Castle), and many more.

The Original Big Band Showcase spans the great Big Bands and Jazz groups of our times — from the 1920s, 30s, 40s, and 50s through today. The program is heard around the world on various AM and FM radio stations and is available online.
