G.I. Jukebox: Songs from World War II (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

G.I. Jukebox: Songs from World War II is an excellent single-disc collection of World War II hits, both those related to the action ("G.I. Jive," "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Town of Berlin, " "Comin' in on a Wing and a Prayer"), and much simpler fare ("Tangerine, " "Rum and Coca-Cola, " "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe").

Golden Greats: Greatest Swing

Golden Greats: Greatest Swing (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

This is a three-CD budget collection of many great swing tunes performed by the biggest names in swing music. The sound quality is good, as are the performances, but the lack of discographical information could be frustrating to jazz aficionados. Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide

An Anthology of Big Band Swing (1930-1955)

An Anthology of Big Band Swing (1930-1955) (1931) more music like this

by Various Artists

This two-CD set is an unusually successful sampler. Although there are a few hits among the 40 selections, many obscurities are also included, and not all of the big bands represented are major names, such as Tiny Bradshaw, Noble Sissle, Spud Murphy, Teddy Powell and Jan Savitt. The emphasis is very much on jazz, and this worthy reissue is ...

Eternal Romance: Classic Love Songs

Instead, it's a double-disc, 20-track collection of classic songs performed by classic musicians, like Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald, Pat Boone, Glenn Miller, Nat King Cole, Mel Tormé, Jimmy Dorsey, and ...

Swing Time! The Fabulous Big Band Era 1925-1955

Swing Time! The Fabulous Big Band Era 1925-1955 (1925) more music like this

by Various Artists

This three-CD box set does an excellent job of covering the big-band era through 66 recordings (by almost as many orchestras) owned by Columbia. The selections (programmed in chronological order), although emphasizing the 1934-45 era, also include 18 earlier and six later recordings. The 60 Columbia/Okeh sides, which include the real rarities, are ...

Instrumental Gems of the Fifties

Instrumental Gems of the Fifties (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Instrumental Gems of the Fifties rounds up 40 hits, some of which are otherwise difficult to find on CD. Although most of the tracks are orchestral hits, the inclusion of Ernie Freeman's "Raunchy" and Santo & Johnny's "Sleepwalk" add variety and a little context, considering that many of these orchestral intrumentals coexisted and competed with ...

Music for a Bachelor's Den (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

As space age bachelor pad music goes, these were among the most widely heard examples of the genre. Over half of these 15 cuts, in fact, were hit singles, including such smashes as "Quiet Village" (Martin Denny), "So Rare" (Jimmy Dorsey), "Moritat" (Dick Hyman, and later to be changed into "Mack the Knife" by Bobby Darin), "Yellow Bird" (Arthur ...

Greatest Hits [Curb] (1991) more music like this

by Jimmy Dorsey

It's a sad commentary on the state of the major record labels -- and their attention to the jazz history that they own in their vaults -- that this 13-song budget CD was the only authorized Jimmy Dorsey collection on the market in 2007. Not that this is a bad collection for what it is -- in keeping with its title, the emphasis is on the pop side ...
