Various - The Swing Era 1940 1941
Review by Tracy Hickok
The Swing Era 1940 1941 is an exceptional album that features some of the most iconic swing music from the early 1940s. The album is a compilation of various artists from the era, including Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, and Count Basie, among others.
The album's production is excellent, and the remastered tracks sound crisp and clear. The listener is transported back in time to the height of the swing era, where big bands and jazz music dominated the airwaves.
The album features some of the most recognizable swing tunes of the time, such as "In the Mood," "Take the A Train," and "Chattanooga Choo Choo." The listener can't help but tap their feet and swing along to the infectious rhythms and melodies.
