Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars glen gray/casa loma orchestra 1939-1940.......2005-08-16

Of the recordings on this cd I really liked only 2 or 3, but I am satisified with those. I just skip the others.

4 out of 5 stars the uncollected glen gray & the casa loma orchestra.......2000-02-16

Splendid collection of one of the great swing bands of the thirties. Standouts in my opinion are the band's theme "Smoke Rings", exquisitely performed by the full band, trombonist Rauch and clarinettist Hutchenrider (and, as a bonus opossed to the commercially released 1937 recording, Pat Davis on tenorsax), "It's Funny to Everyone But Me","Day In, Day Out", sporting rich orchestal textures and a delicious version of that other Glenn's perennial hit, "In the Mood". Very good value for little money and a virtual must for the lover of "old" big bands.
