An important collection of records that allows you to get to the heart of swing jazz.
The album features performances that represent the golden age of swing jazz in the 1930s and 1940s, allowing listeners to experience once again the dynamism and sophistication of big band jazz.
The performances on this album vividly convey the excitement of the dance halls and concert venues of the time, combining a tight, driving rhythm section, sharp horn arrangements, and Goodman's crystal-clear clarinet. The soloists' brilliant improvisations also prove that swing was not simply entertainment music, but a highly advanced ensemble art.
