Description

The Big Bands Moonglow is a CD compilation gathering some of the most celebrated names from the golden age of big band music. Les Brown and His Band of Renown open with their signature recording of ‘Sentimental Journey’ and return later for the lush title track ‘Moonglow’, while Harry James and His Orchestra bring their trademark brass brilliance to ‘I’m Beginning To See The Light’. Paul Weston’s Orchestra features the warm, distinctive vocal of Jo Stafford on ‘Try To Remember’, adding a touch of intimate balladry to the collection. Spanning swing, bossa nova-tinged pop, and romantic standards, this CD offers a rich cross-section of mid-twentieth century American orchestral music performed by the bandleaders who defined it…
