Customer Reviews

Big Band Lives On The 50 Classics Unmissable Material!
Well I thought my memory for bid band and swing music was pretty good but after listening to the numbers featured on this CD I woke up to what I had missed out on until now. The digital enhancement of these tracks is out of this world in my opinion.It is a must for all people who either collect or perhaps play in a big band because everything there is as it should be remembered in a class of its own!

Great music let down but a somewhat muddy sound
Music is good but let down by the sound quality particularly in the upper registers.
