Lanin, Lester

Lanin, Lester
▪ 2005

      American bandleader (b. Aug. 26, 1907, Philadelphia, Pa.—d. Oct. 27, 2004, New York, N.Y.), provided the music for several decades' worth of high-society parties and balls with his tasteful mix of music types, including his debutante ball standard “Pink Petal Waltz.” He had as many as 12 bands on the road at times during his more than 70-year career, and they played for over 30,000 events. Lanin's businessman's bounce—a fast two-beat dance tempo—also was heard on some three dozen record albums.
