About The Record:

Fort Lauderdale – Our Kind of Town by Danny And The Tunesmen, released on Art Records as a vinyl LP, is a jazz record that captures the lively spirit of Fort Lauderdale’s mid-20th century nightlife. Led by Danny Bridge, with Chuck Miller and Charles Hudson, the trio was a fixture at venues like the Tapis Rouge Room in the Sea Shores Hotel, performing for enthusiastic seasonal crowds. Featuring tracks like My Kind of Town, Alley Cat, and When The Saints Go Marching In, the album blends smooth jazz standards with energetic instrumentals, reflecting the city’s vibrant tourism culture. It holds historical significance as a musical reflection of Broward County’s post-World War II nightclub boom, contributing to South Florida’s identity as a vacation destination. No major hit singles are noted from the album, though its tracks, including those with trumpet-driven flair and vocal harmonies, solidified the band’s local popularity.
