I purchased this swing album for my daughter and have never really been a fan of swing music but this set was the most played music in our house at christmas. It has all the old favorites and is so relaxing. I am thinking of purchasing it for myself. well worth the money.

Format:Audio CD
The sound quality is fairly good even on the oldest recordings and mostly excellent on the later tracks.
True. This compilation may not be die-hard Modern Jazz, but is a nice stepping stone toward the Jazz genre. I do a Jazz show on Hospital Radio Chelmsford every week. Most of the tracks on here would be very at home on my show.
As well as the usual indispensibles like Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Tony Bennett and Peggy Lee, you also have less well known, less played, but equally great artistes like Helen Forrest, Dick Haymes, Ethel Merman, Lena Horne and Billie Holiday.
Even better! The liner notes contain some very good and interesting information about the various tracks.
I was in Cornwall having some delicious fish and chips. In that restaurant, they were playing this music there. So I copied down the first tracks and last tracks and then searched on Amazon. The result, I was able to order this album from where I was staying. Oh, the joys of holidays homes with wi-fi!
In my oprion, each CD is worth the price paid for all 4 CDs you get in this boxed set. This must be a bargain and would not only please Jazz fans but also it would delight many other music fans who may not be that Jazz aware.

Track Listings That's Entertainment
I saw there is no track listing for this 4 CD set so thought a list of what is actually on it would be useful? Read more

I wouldn't bother with this
I love swing music but was disappointed by this box set. I haven't played it for ages so can't give specifics, just that it's a cheap box set and you get what you pay for.

Great!
A brilliant CD. I'm playing it a lot especially in the car. I'm over the moon that I didn't pay full price for it but would have done that's for sure.

Let down by some cheap filler tracks
There are a few weak tracks in this compelation, some dodgy crackly recordings as well. But as a background easy listening soundtrack it is generally a pleasure to listen to.
