American Legends - The Big Bands 3CD Set |
|
| | 60 Outstanding Performances | | Just how many people danced the night away to those fabulous Big Bands we shall never know, but it was certainly in the millions. Here is a box set with 60 original recordings by three of the greatest bands that ever existed from back in the forties. Three CDs, each featuring a swinging dance band from this fascinating era - Glenn Miller needs no introduction on the first CD as he brings his unique sound to his greatest hits, Benny Goodman swings his way through the second CD, and finally the great Tommy Dorsey plays 20 of his greatest hits. Glenn's tracks include Tuxedo Junction, A String Of Pearls, Moonlight Serenade, Chattanooga Choo-Choo and, of course, In The Mood. Benny picks up his clarinet and gives us Don't Be That Way, One O'Clock Jump, Body And Soul, After You've Gone and Jersey Bounce. Round three brings in Tommy with such classic hits as The Music Goes Round And Round, Satan Takes A Holiday, On The Sunny Side Of The Street, Night And Day, Opus One and Tea For Two. A perfect addition to any CD collection! |
