Listener Reviews & Comments
Let's face it, Capitol knew some "STUFF" about recording big bands in the fifties...Ray Anthony, Harry James, Benny Goodman, ....and if they could record Stan Kenton...well, they could record anyone! There are 25 (count 'em)tracks on this CD, all 24 bit digital re-masters from pristine ORIGINAL Capitol analog tapes; and while I am admitedly prejudice where Les Brown recordings are concerned...THIS IS A WINNER. The Brown band at this time had players like Dave Pell, Ray Sims, Don Fagerquist, Dick Collins, Donn Trenner, Butch Stone, among others. MANY of the included tracks have NEVER been on CD. Only draw back:NONE of Les' concert material is included, like things from Capitol's CONCERT MODERN or COMPOSER'S HOLIDAY...Buy this one if you like melodic big band swing...Because...IT SWINGS!!!
