VA - The Best Of Big Band (4 CD) (2008)

In the beginning, jazz was called "a combination of nervousness, lawlessness, primitive and wild animalism and debauchery." This definition was given by a more conservative generation who considered jazz a decadent phenomenon. However, despite such estimates, jazz came to its heyday in the 20s, and in the 30s and 40s determined not only the musical fashion, but also the lifestyle of that time in General. The 4CD compilation presented here is a great example of popular music from the 40s of the last century. The time when Glenn Miller and his orchestra, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw, Woody Herman and other orchestras shone on the stage. These melodies of a bygone era, performed by old Big Bands, leave not only a feeling of nostalgia, which sweetly freezes the heart, but also hope for the next meeting, because you want to listen to this music again and again.
