The original Swing arrangements in a Big Band STEREO Spectacular! Here's the sequel to our first Glen Gray CD (Eric #11506) with 22 more authentic arrangements. Digitally remixed in brilliant true stereo sound from the original sessions recorded by the top musicians of the big band era at Capitol's studios between 1957 and 1964. The sound is so good you'll think you're actually in front of the bandstand back in the Thirties! Almost 70 minutes of great music.

I think this cd and it's companion first volume are a must for any big band fan. When these remakes were first released I recall that many reviewers were not to pleased with the results. When listening to big band music one usually has to make a trade-off between swinging spontaneity and qood sound quality, and this cd is no exception. Casa Loma was a pretty swinging band in the mid-thirties, but seemed to have mellowed out over the years. As a result these recordings sound a little dry and perhaps over-rehearsed. The band clearly lacked a propulsive rhythm section, when compared with the Harry James Orchestra in the fifites and the Basie band at any time. Nonetheless, it is great to hear the original charts (with very few and very minor changes) recorded with relatively modern equipment, and notwithstanding the engineer's apparent desire to favor the brass over reeds and bass. Pop this cd into your sound system and crank up the volume and you'll get a good idea of how the great bands sounded, and how much we have missed.
