The best Big Band on The Planet Earth or in the whole Galexy.......2004-08-25

Too bad Eddie Reed;s in jail now, or i'd be dancin' to his big band in Long Beach right now, and I used to drive all the way from Rosarita Beah, Mexico to see this band! The cd however captures that great big band, and Megan Ivey's vocals are simply elegant, and Reed's vocals are charming. The funny thing is that eddie Reed is a masterful clarinet player, and yet he only makes ONE appearance on clarinet on the entire cd, he appears on the cd's final cut, C Jam Blues, jiving us a few precious artie Shaw like bars os solo. A great cd, great songs, and Eddie really knew how to recreate swing music from the late 30's period.

Authentuc swing, with new energy..........2003-12-20

Eddie Reed is keeping the real thing alive, the real thing meaning swing big bands. Reed & his big band perform a variety of authentic swing music from the 30's & 40's, and though there may be some vintage arrangements, this band is allstars and they play this music with plenty of pep and energy. 1st song is Natch, and Artie Shaw arrangement with a pelasant Reed vocal. Other worthwhile performances include a great version of Boogie Blues with a knockout vocal by Reed's daughter Megan Ivey, who sounds right out of 1938!(she also the girl pictured on the cover of the cd). This is a wonderful cd, and reed's is one of the finest swing bands performing today!

A Standard in Swing Music CD's.......2001-12-02

I've been swing dancing for over 5 years, and this CD is still one of my favorites. I love Eddie Reed's version of "C Jam Blues." I absolutely love Meghan Ivey's beautiful voice. I only wish she sang more on this CD. This is definitely a standard to dance to, as well as just listening and enjoying. I never get tired of this CD. If you love swing music, this has to be in your library.

Absolutely great!.......2000-12-31

This album is very smooth with it's big band era energy and wonderful female and male vocals. It's a great cd to have in the back ground or to go crazy with. The writing style just flows so well. you won't be dissapointed,I'm really in love with the female voice she reminds me of Lavay smith and her red hot skillet lickers..

NBC SWINGS AGAIN TODAY!.......2000-03-21

It's the Jitterbug's delight! Swingin' like the late 30's on NBC Radio, and with all the Jam of the Big Band Sound of REAL Swing. It's In the Groove and Hep to the Jive, Gate !
