This large 10 cd collection of Artie Shaw's performances from 1936-45 includes both his big band and small group performances (the wonderful 'Gramercy Fives' session from 1940), for a very modest price. There are 238 tracks, totalling some 12 hours 41 minutes of joyful swing, with some memorable vocal performances, with those of Helen Forrest particularly beguiling.
Nothing outstays its welcome, with tracks rarely reaching 4 minutes (five in total), and the quality of musicianship and range of invention, is unflagging. The quality of recordings is also very good (even though some of these pieces have a clear 'record hiss'), this simply adds to the authenticity of the experience, and doesn't detract from the performance. amazon
