5.0 out of 5 stars swinging the blues, November 19, 2005

This review is from: The Essence of Swing: Riff Time (Audio CD)

Another excellent collection at a budget price. The erskine Hawkins band swung the blues like the Basie band, but lacked the great vocalists Basie had. Be prepared to experience uncontrollable tapping of the feet! A must for any fan of swinging big band music. enjoy!
