Customer Reviews
Wonderful collection of big band music
My stepfather adored big band music. When he recently passed away, my mother wanted to play his collection of WWII-era music at his memorial service, but everything he had was on cassette. We pored over the available compilations and settled on this one, which turned out to be a wonderful choice. The songs are performed by the original artists, the sound quality is excellent, and the selection contained quite a number of my stepfather's favorite songs and made my mother very happy. Some of the collections out there contain quite a few tracks that have been re-recorded by unknown artists, or padded with obscure or down-tempo songs. Every track on this compilation is strong, plus it's less expensive than many others. We were quite pleased with our choice.
Big Band music
After hearing a band that specialized in Big Band music, I wanted a CD that I could listen to in the car. I love this CD. The selection is very good and I listen to it often.
