Les Brown - Best Of Big Bands
Review by Ian Ceicys
The Best of Big Bands by Les Brown is a delightful collection of some of the most iconic big band tunes from the 1930s and 1940s. This album is perfect for anyone who loves swing music, or for those who want to experience the classic sounds of this era.
Les Brown was one of the most popular big band leaders of his time, and this album showcases his talent and the talents of his band members. The album features classic tracks such as "Sentimental Journey," "Leap Frog," and "I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm," as well as lesser-known gems like "Lover" and "The Song Is You."
The music is masterfully arranged, and the musicianship is top-notch. The horns are brassy and bold, the rhythm section is tight and swinging, and Les Brown's vocals are smooth and soulful. The album is a testament to the enduring popularity of big band music, and it's a joy to listen to from start to finish.
