Editorial Reviews
Product Description
40 Superstars of the Big Band Era. It Began with Benny Goodman in 1935 via a Saturday night appearance on a coast-to-coast radio program. He was the sprk that ignited the Big Band Scene. By 1940 there were close to 200 dance bands playing the joyous "swing" that expressed the mood of a country recovering from the big band depression. This collection is a tribute to an era...a salute to the musical period that is a piece of Americana.

Carefully selected from master discs for your listening and dancing pleasure, here are the big bands and big names of the 40's in a musical celebration of swing.
