5.0 out of 5 stars A New Fan of Big Band, January 18, 2010
By 
This review is from: Big Band Favorites (Audio CD)
I agree with the previous review 100%. The BBC Big Band Orchestra provides a modern day experience of what it must have sounded like in the '40s. I have a new appreciation for the arrangement talents of the old band leaders and the technical proficiency of the musicians. With modern-day recording techniques and modern listening equipment, it's like the band is in the room with you. The BBC musicians and singers are outstanding and a joy to listen to.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Better Choice, October 22, 2011

All the above is accurate, but choose "BBC Best of the War Years". All the same pieces, plus many more. Please note all the BBB Big Band CD's have the same pieces, they differ only in how many pieces you get when purchase the specific CD. "BBC Best of the War Years" offers the most pieces.

5.0 out of 5 stars On Point... A True Classic, May 27, 2011
This review is from: Big Band Favorites (Audio CD)
The other reviews are right. The sound is on point. They don't try to modernize the classics and created sound that makes you feel like you are hearing these songs on vinyl back when they were first released. If you are a fan of the Big Band Era, this is a perfect addition to your collection or beginning peice to it.

This review is from: Big Band Favorites (Audio CD)
This sounds like it should. All the cuts are played as they were recorded years and years ago. Now with our up to date recording equipment, I really feel what my Dad felt like when he said it's the greatest music ever played.
