Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A Taste of Excellent Music.......2005-03-10

This should be a must for owners who want to hear excellent music from some of the world's foremost musicians. All of these Band leaders gave music the continued feelings and needed sound that was called for then and is needed now. This box set should be used as a teaching aid for all music students and youngsters so that they can feel and get a taste of the good music from the swing era!

2 out of 5 stars high on quantity, low on quality.......2001-04-18

I purchased this to hear new versions of some old standards. It might be handy to have all of these songs in one set, but the musical quality is awful. Many of the arrangements are awful! Buyer beware...
