Swing That Music: 20 Classic Jazz & Swing Hits (CD)
Swing That Music
Few musical eras have left as indelible a mark on popular culture as the golden age of swing. This expertly assembled compilation brings together 20 original recordings from the genre's most celebrated names, capturing the irresistible energy, sophisticated arrangements, and sheer joy of an era that had the world on its feet.
From the brassy exuberance of Glenn Miller's Army Air Force Band to the velvet harmonies of The Andrews Sisters, and from Louis Armstrong's trumpet mastery to the crystalline phrasing of Ella Fitzgerald, Swing That Music is a definitive portrait of a movement that defined a generation. Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, and The Mills Brothers round out a lineup that reads like a who's who of American musical royalty.
Highlights include the irrepressible "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," the driving rhythm of "Pennsylvania 6-5000," and the timeless groove of "Stompin' At The Savoy" — tracks that remain as thrilling today as when they first filled the dance halls of the 1930s and 1940s.
