CD Reviews

Ultra smooth

Robert J. Cruce | Muskogee, OK United States | 07/27/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is Les Brown in the latter half of the 1950's so you should be aware the material in The Les Brown Story are remakes "in today's sound" (and that was true, although the liner info and even the disc itself says stereo/mono- meaning the South Pacific part is stereo while the Les Brown Story would be mono.) A pleasant surprise is that The Les Brown Story is stereo, too. This gets four stars only because I know some will only want this artist's 1940's originals. But they'll be missing a real treat. This is a splendid disc. I bought it because I knew this would be a great pairing- the South Pacific pieces are played with all the smoothness and flair you could want. Les Brown fans will want this. Its all good and thoroughly recommendable."

Wonderfull Big Band Music

Densford H Cartledge | Stone Mountain, GA USA | 05/07/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is a real joy. The sound is incredibly good and as a previous reviewer has said, all are in stereo. I have this music on old LP's and these recordings are so much better. They give you an idea of how a big band sounds live.
The choice of music is great.
If you want great big band music this CD is a winner"
