The 1920's music in the bar scene in Stanley Kubricks'The Shining'

[joy division]

You know the scene.

Jack Nicholson enters a time slip of sorts where he is sitting at the bar in the midst of a 1920's party.

Does anybody know what the music is that plays in the background during these scenes?

It's very errie, but very 1920's

I think the music may have been called 'Home' by Henry Hall & the Gleneagles Hotel Band.This list might help you.. Or go here
