Anyone who appreciates the unique style of Billy May will love this album and find it to be a terrific value as well.The 18 recordings on this album are equivalent to a two record set and include May standards such as, Charmaine, Diane, Tenderly,Perfidia, Cocktails For Two and All Of Me.This album combines Quality and Quantity.

Comment on audio quality,
By A Customer
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
Purists (like me) should know that these original monophonic recordings have been electronically "stereoized" on this CD. Basic sound quality is very good, but untampered mono would have been even better.

Best of Billy May vol.1,
By "rayandann" (SALISBURY, WILTS United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
As with all of Billy May's albums, this is another 'par excellence' and I recommend it to anyone with a love and/or interest if big band music at its very best.

Good music, but no "Tri-Fi Drums",
By Rob Keil (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
Billy May's stereo recording of "Tri-Fi Drums" should have been included on this best-of. It's absolutely insane big band music with 3 drummers. Otherwise 5 stars.

18 track cd!,
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
Pop-oriented and "sweet" band cuts from the Billy May Orchestra, which enjoyed prominence in the early '50s before May sold the band to Ray Anthony in 1954. This anthology includes songs with Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, and Jeri Southern, plus George Shearing.
Track Listing 1. Charmaine 2. Unforgettable 3. Fat Man Boogie 4. My Silent Love 5. There Is No Greater Love 6. I Guess I'll Have To Change My Plans 7. Say It Isn't So 8. You're Driving Me Crazy 9. When Your Lover Has Gone 10. Diane 11. Please Be Kind 12. Tenderly 13. Young At Heart 14. Perfidia 15. Cocktails For Two 16. Cheek To Cheek 17. All Of Me 18. Lean Baby

THIS IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF BIG BAND CD.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
I REALLY ENJOY TRYING NEW THINGS. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT. IT IS A BIG BAND ALBUM BUT WITHOUT STRINGS. IT DOES A GOOD JOB PLAYING THE OLD STANDARDS WE HAVE COME TO ENJOY. I WOULD HAVE RATED IT HIGHER BUT IT ONLY HAD 10 OUT OF 18 SONGS THAT I REALLY LIKED.

No Tri Fi Drums?,
By Shadow (NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
I would like to give this recording 5 stars, but without Tri Fi Drums (Dan Ingram's closing theme) it cannot be considered a best of. Hopefully that song will surface on a re-issue.
