I recently wanted to find out the same thing myself - it seems this is a hard genre to name!

As far as I can tell, styles associated with the Andrews Sisters are:

  • Boogie Woogie
  • Jump Blues
  • Big Band

I'm sure there must be a more specific name for there style though, one that's characterised by close harmonies, steel accompaniment (?), hawaiian slack key guitar...

I believe you mean the 1940s (WWII) and you're probably referring to the Andrews Sisters. Watch the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy video to see if they are who you're talking about. Christina Aguilera recently sang a song based on that old hit (Candyman). Another good trio from the early half of the century was the Boswell Sisters (20s/30s). They have quite a few good songs.
