Wow, what a great CD! This CD contains twelve tunes from the heyday of Big Band music, World War 2. The album was created by the BBC Big Band, which was formed under the auspices of the British Broadcast Company, but sounds so good, you would never know that they aren't American.

Overall, I found this to be a great album, one that is sure to please any fan of Big Band music, or even any fan of good band music in general! I love this album, and highly recommend it.

The style of B.B.C., I think is even better than Glen Millers band, It's got all of my personal fav's on it. The song ''take the A train'' and ''in the mood'' are a much different style.
