Swing Kids [Original Soundtrack]

by
Original Soundtrack
At its best, Swing Kids fills the listener with the relentless passion, sensuality, and joy that is swing music. Not tapping your feet or dancing to the material presented is nearly impossible. Unfortunately, composer James Horner also fills the album with moody orchestral music that takes away some of the momentum. Still, the best cuts are so ...

Big Band Greatest Hits

Big Band Greatest Hits is an entertaining collection of swing classics, including Benny Goodman's "Sing, Sing, Sing," Glenn Miller's "Chattanooga Choo Choo," Tommy Dorsey's "I'll Never Smile Again," Duke Ellington's "Take the 'A' Train," and Artie Shaw's "Stardust." While it is assembled too haphazardly to appeal to the jazz purists, it is an ...

Live at Carnegie Hall (1938)

by
Benny Goodman
Although it has been superceded by the remastered, more extensively researched, and longer running Live at Carnegie Hall: 1938 Complete, this two-CD set issued in 1987 is still very worthwhile to the casual listener, and it has virtues that the reissue lacks. Mastered from a triple-LP set that had been cleaned up and edited at the time of release ...

RCA Victor Beginner's Guide to Jazz: Greatest Hits
(1996)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
This CD is a sampler of a sampler series. RCA Victor's introduction to jazz program (which exclusively focuses on its own artists, mostly from the swing era) is erratic at best with random programming and a lack of discographical data (such as who are the sidemen). This particular CD draws its dozen selections from eight "greatest hits" ...

Steve Allen
Steve Allen leads a big band in this tribute to the swing era, though this Coral LP is a bit of a disappointment. The 11 standards all sound as if they are borrowed charts written for Benny Goodman by Edgar Sampson, Fletcher Henderson, and others, which of course, most of them seem to be, with the exception of a few updated versions. So anyone who ...

What's immediately apparent about this release is that it doesn't include the famous song referred to in its title. While that's sneaky, the collection does include many other hits of the Swing Era, all performed with Benny Goodman's signature jaunt. "Goody-Goody" (featuring the firecracker vocals of Helen Ward), "Swingtime in the Rockies," and ...
