The Roaring Twenties: A Playlist

Written by: Christine K.

 
Josephine Baker

Hemingway in Paris

We will soon know what Ernest Hemingway was writing from 1923-1925. But what was he listening to? We may never know for sure, but we'd like to bet that some of these popular tunes for the Roaring Twenties had his toe-tapping.

 

For the complete Volume 2 playlist on Spotify, click here. A Volume 1 playlist is also available.

It’s Bad for Me by Al Bowlly

Who’s Sorry Now by Glenn Miller

I’ve Found a New Baby by Josephine Baker

The Man I Love by George Gershwin

That Old Gang of Mine by Al Jolson

Wolverine Blues by Jelly Roll Morton

Downhearted Blues by Bessie Smith

Nobody’s Sweetheart by The Mills Brothers

There’s Life in the Old Girl Yet by Maisie Gay

Everything is Hotsy Totsy Now by the California Ramblers

The Great Gatsby
Cambridge University Press Bookshop opened in 1992, but the shop itself has been around for a great deal longer and selling books all the while; since 1581 in fact. Passing from hand to hand over the centuries, 1 Trinity Street was taken over in 1846 by Daniel and Alexander Macmillan who employed their nephew Robert Bowes as an apprentice. He would later become partner and eventually take on the premises. The shop remained Bowes & Bowes until 1986 when it became Sherratt & Hughes before we took it on in 1992. We are still going strong today, showcasing around 50,000 different titles in the shop. In 2008 we expanded round the corner into 27 Market Hill where we opened our specialist Education and English Language Teaching shop the following year. We are proud to continue the fine old tradition of selling books here and contributing our bit to the fine history of 1 Trinity Street.
