Cliff Barker-Drummer- 1923 in NYC-Prosperity Dance Orchestra.jpg
The Prosperity Dance Orchestra in New York City, 1923, was part of the vibrant jazz and dance band scene of the Roaring Twenties. This era was all about the lively, upbeat music that got people dancing the Charleston and embracing the new jazz culture. Orchestras like Prosperity would have been central to the nightlife, playing in ballrooms and clubs around the city. Their music captured the energy and optimism of the post-World War I era. Pretty fascinating time in music history, Notice the Ford Model T in the background. My Grandmother Married the Drummer later in his life.
