Also known as Jacob Savetnick, The Stokowski of Swing
Russian-born American bandleader, musical arranger, and violinist
Tags
Big band leader who enjoyed some popularity during the late-'30s and early-'40s. He was born in Russia but raised in the USA. Enjoyed some critical respect and had a band which could swing, as on favourite "720 in the Books," but also played in a sweeter vein without coming across as a "cornball" band. "Make Believe Island," featuring band singer known as Bon Bon, was Savitt's other moderate hit. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Jan+Savitt">Read more on Last.fm</a>
