Great American Big Bands of the 1930s and 40s

This Great Bands album features Ray Noble with Jack Hylton, Ambrose, Harry Roy, Henry Hall and many more musicians and bandleaders. Essentially, the ‘Golden Age of British Dance Bands’ was pre-war and this collection concentrates on the fabulous Thirties.

“Great Dance Bands Play ….. On this CD the quality and clarity of sound are superb, so good in fact that I found myself turning up the volume, listening for every instrument and every breath of the vocalists, and I forgot for an hour that this music came from 78’s! The CD is an absolute pleasure to play.” Mr J.W, Warwickshire
