Album Details
The Era of Big Band Swing Represented the First Real Instance of Jazz Music, Or Very Close Derivatives of Jazz, Becoming Part of the Mainstream of Popular Music. The Tunes Became Standards of the Time that People Whistled on their Way to Work, the Musicians Became Superstars Mobbed by Fans, and Top Names Like Artie Shaw, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Glenn Miller and Harry James Sold Records by the Millions. Swing, was the Pop of Its Day!

Summary: Start Here 2008-06-06
Comment: For your first collection of what used to be termed "standards" from this era, you can't do better than this. A wonderful sampler, well-packaged, with some sparse but useful notes, well remastered without losing the essence.
I've never heard most of these numbers before in my life (and I'm 53!) so this collection not only has the value of quality, but also novelty. There were a lot of good songs and singers back then!
Those of us - like me - who only encountered these people when they were doddering out their last years in an occasional television special will be amazed to find that there were very good reasons they were so popular. I was particularly astonished at the young Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra. There's nothing like them today.
Well worth making their acquaintance.

Summary: The Very Best at a Reasonable Price 2005-04-26
Comment: This 4-disc CD set gives you the very best of 30's and 40's music. Most of the songs included were number 1 hits. They include such classics as Night and Day; Begin the Beguine; Over the Rainbow; Minnie the Moocher; In the Mood; White Christmas; Paper Doll; Stardust; Opus One; Sentimental Journey and many others. All are by the original artists and almost all have high sound quality.
The cost is very reasonable considering that the CD has 80 songs.
