Music reviews of Chesterfield BroadcastsMusic Review: Another time magically recapturedBorn in 1940, I was singing Andrews Sisters songs before I could talk. I called myself "Jim Andrews," thinking of myself as the Andrews brother (Maxene Andrews knew the story and was amused) and made my mother write away for a signed photo of the Sisters, which I got and still have. The girls' amazing close harmony and blending came not just from the fact these were the voices of sisters but the fact they devoted years and years from childhood on to perfecting their style. They were ready when stardom came calling. All the routines you hear on these broadcasts were worked out by the Sisters themselves working with arranger Vic Schoen, who was regarded as a family member. The girls drove Glenn Miller nuts because they insisted all performances stick to the Decca Records arrangements; nothing could be cut or altered. That's because the intricate voicings had taken forever to work out and would have taken forever to rework out. Still, some of these performances don't exactly stick to the Decca arrangements and the Miller band plays circles around the studio aggregations accompanying the Andrews on the records. One more note: Schoen almost never arranged the Sisters against musical backgrounds. The instruments come in mostly between vocal lines as punctuation. The sound basically was Dixieland. It worked on hundreds of records. Then along came Gordon Jenkins. But that' s another story.
