Isham Jones (1894-1956) formed at the age of 20 his own orchestra and played for dances in Saginaw, Bay City and other nearby Michigan towns. In 1923, he took his band to London where he played at the Kit-Cat Club and he is said to have been one of the first to take jazz to Europe. Prior to that tour, he had played at the Lincoln, McAlpin and Commodore hotels in New York City. In 1927, at the age of 18, Benny Goodman joined the Jones band, then playing at the Million Dollar Rainbow Gardens in Chicago. The recording of Hoagy Carmichael's "Star Dust" in 1931 pushed the band high in popularity and helped establish the song. Also, during that year, Jones composed "You're Just a Dream Come True", becoming the theme song for the band. Jones wrote more than 200 songs, of which 40 or more became hits! One of the last bands led by Jones in 1936 was known as the Isham Jones Juniors. The group recorded for Decca and later became the first band led by Woody Herman. The coming of swing and stylized bands gradually discouraged Jones, and during the last years of his life he decided to concentrate on writing songs. This wonderful song was recorded in 1934. The vocal is by Joe Martin.
