Produktbeschreibung

Carleton A. Coon, Sr., and Joe L. Sanders formed the Coon-Sanders Orchestra in 1919 in Kansas City, Missouri. Three years later, under the name Nighthawks, the band, began broadcasting experimental, highly-popular midnight radio programs over Kansas Citys WDAF. Their music was played all over the world, and the band remained one of Americas top bands until Coons death in 1932.
