Great jazz entertainers, dance bands & big bands of the 1930s & 40s
Something here to meet every mood, whether upbeat or simply nostalgic: romantic ballads, swing tunes, rhythmic novelties, vocal numbers, swing specialities and period ditties. Unbeatable music!
Including spirited performers who appeal to jitterbuggers and the soda fountain crowd alike.
A brilliant opening track by Johnny Mercer, tripping through to Benny Goodman, Eddie Heywood, Glenn Miller and The Mills Brothers.
"The sound on GI Jive is astonishing - as clear as a modern recording, refurbished to shine as brightly as a pair of GI boots!"
Had Desert Island Discs existed in 1940s America, it's likely that our typical G.I.'s short-list would have included many of these selections. There's something here to meet every mood, whether upbeat or simply nostalgic: romantic ballads, swing tunes, rhythmic novelties, vocal numbers, swing specialities and period ditties. Unbeatable music!
