Jan Garber (November 5, 1894 - October 5, 1977) began his career in a quartet (including his own violin) following World War I. It later emerged as a full-fledged 'hot band' in the 1920s; a 'sweet' band in the early 1930s through the early 1940s; a 'swing' band during World War II; and back to the 'sweet' style permanently in late 1945. It was in the early 1930s that his widely-acknowledged mastery of dance tempos began. Over the years, he's been recognized as a pioneer in creating the 'one-night-stand' concept among dance orchestras. Jan Garber's band leading career spanned 53 years. When he retired in 1971, his daughter Janis, took over and lead the band for two more years. Read more on Last.fm.
