The Bandstand, “a newspaper for musical students and fans,” was a production of Tommy Dorsey and the Tommy Dorsey band. Printed in a newspaper format, unlike other publicity publications which were magazine formatted, six issues appeared on a monthly basis between January and June 1939. Edited by Jack Egan, the first issue focuses largely on the Dorsey band and later issues include articles on other big bands, such as Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Guy Lombardo, and brother Jimmy Dorsey.
Articles are contributed under the names of most members of the Tommy Dorsey band, including publicity, educational, and news-related articles. Sections include “News of General Interest,” “Theaters and Ballrooms,” “Scribes of Sentimental Swing,” “Hollywood Whispers,” “Band Operations,” “Woodwind Section,” “Brass Section,” “Arrangers’ Table,” “Rhythm Section,” “Bandstand Goes to College,” “Music in Sports,” “Radio Section,” “On and Off the Records,” and “Fanfare – Correspondence.”
