5 out of 5 stars BRITISH JAZZ THAT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME.......2002-07-26

Generally speaking British Jazz Bands of the 30's and 40's are rightfully written off as derivative and lacking Swing. It was therefore a very pleasant surprise to find a CD at this price that had a consistently high standard thoughout and best of all very few insipid vocals. Not only are the standards (Caravan - Limehouse Blues) way up to American versions re. beat and drive there are several original compositions of equal quality and interest. My opinion - Bert Ambrose deserves to be more than a well-kept-secret. Lastly, thank you Castle for making such a great selection - all in high-quality sound.

    I bought this CD to replace my older CD of the concert that disappeared. Of the various versions of the concert available, this one is among the most reasonably priced and the reproduction quality is fine.

    5 out of 5 stars Great Music, Great Sound.......2005-02-26

    This disc compiles choice cuts from the Benny Goodman Quartet and the Benny Goodman Trio. This is swing in its most elemental form-- much more free flowing and spontaneous than the big band style. On all tracks, the interplay between the musicians is amazing, and their rhythm is so tight that you will be amazed when you realize there is no bass. In addition to the great swinging tracks, there are some absolutely beautiful ballads, with Lionel Hampton on vibes providing a dreamy counterpoint to Goodman's pure sounding clarinet. The sound throughout is crisp, and you can clearly hear all of the musicians. This is wonderful, happy music and a great choice for a sophisticated party.

    This "greatest hits" package begins with "Moonlight Serenade," the theme song of trombonist/band leader Glenn Miller's orchestra. The creamy, luxurious sound owes its character to the voicing of Wilbur Schwarz on clarinet over Hal McIntyre, Stanley Aronson, and Al Klink's alto saxophones and Tex Beneke's tenor sax. Three trumpets, three trombones, piano, bass, drums, and guitar complete the lineup. Miller's arrangement style was ensemble-oriented with a minimum of soloing and the emphasis on the song's melodic hook, which is why so many of these songs, including "Little Brown Jug," "Tuxedo Junction," "A String of Pearls," "In the Mood," and "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" were such big hits. --John Swenson

    Customer Reviews:

    4 out of 5 stars Glenn Miller Live!.......2005-07-05

    His biggest hits (Pennsylvania 6-5000, In The Mood, Cattanooga Choo Choo) recorded live. Mostly from Glen Island Casino, featuring Tex Beneke, Ray Eberle, Marion Hutton, the Modernaires and great Harry James. Sound is not that great but it's not that bad either. It is the document of the big band era.

    4 out of 5 stars A wonderful CD (but the tape is better).......2002-08-15

    I began making musical adventures in my youth. I had always enjoyed old movie musicals as a child and there were many that involved big bands and swing music. So one day, I just went out and bought the tape, without any real familiarity with the music itself. It quickly became one of my most listened to tapes. Unfortunately for me, my two very favorite songs from the tape are not on the CD, I can not begin to tell you how very dissapointing that is to me. But I also know that a Glen Miller fan would enjoy hearing those old radio shows, it is something terribly sweet, innocent and wonderful about hearing them like that. There is a nice bit of back and forth banter that otehr recording would not have, and that makes this special as well. But I will tell you this, if you ever get a chance to hear a song called Elmer's Tune (I think Tex Benecke is singing lead w/the Modernaires), it really does encapuslate the flavor of those years, and the band's rendition of Tchaikowski's Piano Concerto No 1 is absolutely masterful. That peice really showed just how layered a Glen Miller arrangement could be. I listened to it so much, I can still hear it in my head and I miss it so much. Funny thing is I got the tape because it had "In the Mood", but I have come to love and sing Elmer's Tune.

    If you enjoy Glen Miller, you will enjoy this CD, but if you ever heard Elmer's Tune or Piano Concerto No.!, this CD is a horrible let down.

    5 out of 5 stars Great Music And History..........2001-10-30

    I've had this on record for years, and it's a must on CD! Think of it as an audio scrapbook of important musical dates in the band's career. (First broadcast from the Glen Island Casino, First Chesterfield broadcast,etc.) All wonderful, and the original 2-disks fit nicely onto one CD. Don't toss that vinyl copy, though-packaging here is pretty shoddy, and the booklet is a joke compared to the beautiful original-all the pictures, and about 3/4 of the narrative are missing.

    1 out of 5 stars poor quality.......2001-04-13

    This is one hugely disappointing CD. The sound quality is poor--you could hear the scratches and pops of the original record. The recording itself--made off a radio broadcast--is not too great to begin with. What's more annoying--for me anyway--is that the radio announcer kept coming on to introduce this and that song, thus ruining whatever mood the album and the individual songs produce in the listener. For god's sake, he even came on DURING "Moonlight Serenade" to utter some nonsense or other. Now does this sound like your idea of a good time?

    5 out of 5 stars Not Exactly a Greatest Hits Package.......2001-03-26

    Though it does contain Miller's best-known hits, this isn't really a greatest hits CD. Instead, this CD is compiled from notable radio performances. The sound is better than I would have expected, and all of the performances have terrific energy.

    Especially notable are seelctions from his first broadcast from the Glen Island Casino, the engagement that gave him his big break, and from his last two performances on the air before leaving to join the army. There are tracks included from other notable dates as well, including the occasion when he received the first Gold Record ever.

    You have to hear that song to believe it! A nice budget compilation of some of Hendersons bluebird recordings. Although robbed blind by Benny Goodman(who actually hired him as an arranger), these songs will show you where the music came from. And anything with Coleman Hawkins and Roy Eldridge playing on it is worth listening to.
