31 ott 2021 · Due to his success as a composer, Isham Jones broke up his band in 1926 to concentrate on writing. He led some studio orchestras on a handful of titles during 1926-27 but it was until 1929 that he became a bandleader again.
Isham Jones was a leader and broke up many bands in the 1920s and ’30s. But his greatest legacy was as a songwriter. He wrote “It Had to Be You,” On the Alamo,” I’ll See You In My Dreams,” “The Love I Love Belongs to Someone Else,” and “There Is No Greater Love.”
Isham Jones became a prolific songwriter but not until his orchestra was already established as one of the most popular dance bands of the ‘20s and early ‘30s. Although his band sometimes played music in the “jazz” style, it was generally known for its “sweet” music. Jones hired the best musicians.
