Album Description
Budget-priced box featuring 40(!) digitally remastered CDs packed with all the best from the top names of the Big Band era during the Great Depression and World War II. Each disc contains music by just one artist, though most of the stars have two hits-packed CDs and Duke Ellington has three! Other featured acts include Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, Artie Shaw, Woody Herman, Cab Calloway, Gene Krupa, Stan Kenton and many others. Packed with a walloping 792 tracks, this collection is guaranteed to keep all swingin' guys and dolls' toes tappin' and hands clappin'! An affordable & unique Christmas present that Grandma & Grandpa will love since they grew up listening to these cats, Mom & Dad can now appreciate and the smart kids who know better than to accept lame modern day imposters like Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy when they can have the real deal! Housed in a sealed, full color 5' x 6'
