great music even after all these years
The Only Big Band CD You'll Ever Need isn't completely comprehensive; but as a single CD retrospective it works. The quality of the sound is rather good and the artwork is excellent. We get a good sampler of what made people dance back in the era of the great big bands."Chattanooga Choo-Choo"...

Great music, terrible marketing
This disc is packed with some of the greatest hits of the big band era (great set list) but the collection's title ("The Only Big Band CD You'll Ever Need") is terribly insulting. Why assume that, after hearing killer-diller tunes like these, that modern listeners wouldn't want to dig deeper and...

Good Music!
If you have a bunch of swing music or none at all this is a wonderful c.d. to own. It's a selection of the "favorites" of this genre of music. If you are looking for one c.d. to buy, for a friend who loves swing music or to initiate yourself to swing music, this is a good one.

Great Introduction and Great Toe-Tapping Listening
Someone who knows the era better than I will have to tell how well-chosen the tracks are, but I've really enjoyed listening to this. The recording quality is indeed low but you need to regard that as akin to the tool marks in fine leather; they are proof of its authenticity. What do you expect...

Excellent Sampler
The CD name is a little ambitious, but if you want an excellent sampler of the best in big band, this is a great choice. True, some songs are not up to current recording standards, but the quality is very good for recordings made back in the 30s and 40s. I don't care much for the Buddy Rich and...

Great Songs - Poor Recording Quality
Although the song titles are great, the music sounds very flat. these songs are all likely original recordings. If you want to hear the original sound and imagine your stereo systems as one of those old horn-type record players, you'll love this CD. Otherwise, find something else.

chocked full of big band
I love to listen to the old standards. Music has such a way of taking you back to a simpler time. This is the cd that achieves that. If you are new to big band music this is definately the one to buy.
