The Swing Era of the 1940s gave us some of the most memorable songs in the history of music. The brass of the big bands fronted by such famous names as Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey echoed throughout the dance floors, clubs and ballrooms around the country as WWII raged on but could not dampen our spirits. In the Mood , Chattanooga Choo Choo , Begin the Beguine and One O clock Jump had the dance floor hopping and swinging to the beat as the big band orchestra s toured the country from coast to coast brining their unique sound to music lovers everywhere. Folks gathered around their radio at night and crooned along with Woody Herman, Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw and Cab Calloway and others as the war went on and it gave them a happy time to forget the misery of the battle and remember the good times when peace was the way and the trumpets and trombones played their favorite melodies. This collection contains 36 previously recorded hits of live concert and radio air-check renditions of the timeless music of the Big Band Era.
