Woody Herman & His Orchestra - The Essential Series Remastered: Woody Herman & His Orchestra, Vol. II - 1944 (Remastered 2024) (2024) [Hi-Res]

Woody Herman’s tremendous success in the mid ’40s was one the last bright moments during the tail end of the Swing Era. At a time when the big bands were being decisively challenged by a growing trend towards small groups, the burning excitement and new sounds of the Woody Herman band stemmed the tide, at least for a moment. Playing the brilliant arrangements of the 22-year-old Ralph Burns, Woody Herman and his Thundering Herds made music that is as electrifying today as it was six decades ago.
