"This album follows in the grand tradition of cashing in on a fad by regurgitating it with a mind numbing BOOM CLAP BOOM CLAP BOOM CLAP overdub. The only thing more embarrassing than liking this kind of nausea is recommending it to other people."

Don't Be Fooled by This Album

"First off, I only gave this CD one star because there is no option for zero. The music on this disc is a pure mockery of true Swing music. Electronic devices are fine for creating Pop and Techno type music, but they have no place in Big Band. If anything, only use this disc as a reference to find the original material. Take a look at the discs track list, then do searches on the song titles listed to find the recordings by the original artists. Example, "Will Get It" by Tommy Dorsey is a great tune, but you never could tell by listening to the version on this disc."
