. - Fra omslaget: "The bigger the band, the better the sound - at least when venues got larger as swing got popular in the 1920s. But how to keep such big band operating when styles change and amplifiers advance to smaller combos sound just as loud? The answer can be found in these twenty rare and refined albums by some of the best big bands of the 1950s. They range from classics by Count Basie or Duke Ellington to the cool sounds of Marty Paich or Stan Kenton, and the advanced arrangements of Gil Evans or George Russell."
