A Kid's Review

This review is from: Big Band Spectacular (Audio CD)

What a bust! PLEASE: Do NOT buy this CD before listening to the previews--the songs on this CD cannot possibly be the original hits remastered, as the cover implies :(

If anyone knows of a quality set of re-mastered Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman originals, I would certainly enjoy to hear about it. Thank you!!

This album has all the classics that you would expect hear on the radio if you were to fall back into the 1940's. Upbeat and surprisingly familiar, it provides a wonderful background for a dinner party or just working around the house. A great buy!

What is it the young people say today? "Been there, done that." Well, this is my era. Saw the man. Heard the man. These are his songs, but this CD? Glenn Miller would be embarrassed! Be sure to listen to the samples....they lack the passion, the verve, the cohesiveness, and the very soul of Glenn Miller and his orchestra!!
