Best I've Heard,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Fabulous Swing Collection (Audio CD)
I purchased several swing collections previously and they all had poor quality audio - they had not been cleaned up from the original recordings. This CD is MUCH cleaner and makes for an enjoyable experience.

Entertaining, but some tracks don't belong here,
By
This review is from: The Fabulous Swing Collection (Audio CD)
The main problem with this CD is the coupling of great tracks with fairly awful ones.On the great side, you have Benny Goodman's rollicking "Don't Be That Way" and a song destined to kill live in "Sing Sing Sing." Tommy Dorsey's beautiful "Opus One" and lively "Boogie Woogie." Duke Ellington's signature "Take The 'A' Train." Artie Shaw's bouncing "Back Bay Shuffle." Glenn Miller's theme for jitterbuggers, "In The Mood." Then there are the disappointments. The whitebread "Casa Loma Stomp" by Glen Grey. The cringe-inducing "All God's Chillun Got Rhythm" by Bunny Berigan. The extremely silly "Mary Had A Little Lamb" by Fletcher Henderson, which is especially disillusioning to hear when one considers that Henderson supplied a good many of Benny Goodman's hard swinging band arrangements! We can at least be thankful that Kay Keiser and Hal Kemp didn't show up on this disc.

The Swing CD to put you "In The Mood"!,
By
This review is from: The Fabulous Swing Collection (Audio CD)
All of the Swing Era's "Greatest Hits" are in this original package! The sultry "Minnie the Moocher" by Cab Calloway, the snappy "Boogie Woogie" by Tommy Dorsey and the legendary "Take The A-Train" by Duke Ellington are all one-of-a-kind signature songs of great big band leaders. The sweetest ear-candy on this CD are the great "In The Mood" by Glenn Miller and the original 8+ minute version of "Sing, Sing, Sing" by Benny Goodman including the trumpet solo by Christoper Columbus. If you will own only one Swing Era CD, make it this one, it is sure to put you "In The Mood"!
