Customer Reviews

 
Top class big band jazz Rating: 5.0

This is another excellent Proper Box, with the usual highly detailed booklet which is almost worth the price in itself. The box covers Herman's band from 1939 to 1949. The music is top class, with many famous players taking part, and arrangements which allow plenty of space for real jazz solos. Particular highlights are the original recordings of Four Brothers and Summer Sequence. Herman himself plays well throughout and is a capable singer on some tracks. The sound quality is remarkably good for the 1940s and bears being turned up to a high volume (this is a big band). Well worth the price.
