Customer Reviews

Big band sounds you can listen to forever!5
If you enjoy listening to big band music this CD collection is for you. The set includes 36 all time favorites recorded on 3 CDs. The music is full bodied and alive as only original recordings in digital format can achieve. When my wife purchased this set I was somewhat skeptical. How good can a 3 CD set be when it sells for $12.99? We have been listening to it for over a year now and never tire of it.Drop all three CDs in your CD player, set it on random play, and escape into the world of big band sounds as they must have been in the dance halls and pavillions of the 30's and 40's. I highly recommend this set.

THIS IS A STEAL!5
The compilations on the discs are outstanding! The orchestra plays with incredible precision, never missing a beat. Pop the discs in and sit back, relax and listen to some of the finer music of our times. At this price, this box set is a deal by anyone's definition!

Well....it opened MY ears!!5
This is one great band playing great music. They play very close to the original and dont miss a beat. I got the four cd's at a used price and they came in the original wrapping, brand new. Can't beat that. Buy this set, pop them into the ol cd player. sit back and relax because you are in for a treat.
