The Big Band Sound is pleased to offer our fans a choice of two CDs. Both CDs are jam-packed with over 73 minutes of music each! (Wow!)
And The Angels Swing! Live! contains a wide selection of up-tempo classics as well as beautiful ballads.
Live and Swingin'! is full of great up-tempo tunes for swing dancing all night long!
AND THE ANGELS SWING! LIVE!
"The Big Band Sound is a dynamic ensemble to experience in a live
setting, with each section executing at full bore and giving a tremendous lift to
listeners and dancers alike. Believe me, there's nothing like being out front and up
close when leader Dave Cole kicks off the tempo at another jam-packed swing
dance or concert. But if you haven't heard them in person,
And The Angels Swing! Live!
fully presents the talents of the entire band, which continues to impress swing
lovers all over the Hudson Valley. In fact, if I started listing highlights
from this CD, I'm sure I'd wind up writing about every tune!" - Scott Wenzel, Mosaic Records
The selections included on And The Angels Swing! Live!
perfectly reflect an evening out listening to The Big Band Sound in-person: classic
tunes from all the famous big bands, including furious flag-wavers, romantic ballads
and everything in-between! This was recorded live at a "1940s Swing Dance"
and it's sure to sweep you up in the emotions of the evening!
On And The Angels Swing! Live!, The Big Band Sound brings you
wonderful big band jazz from the great orchestras of Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington,
Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Harry James, Count Basie, and Randy Brooks,

LIVE AND SWINGIN'!
"On Live and Swingin'!, The Big Band Sound recreates many of the
familiar songs from the Swing Era, blending in a few more recent works, everything designed
for dancing and listening, as used to be the case when big bands were king of the hill.
The Big Band Sound means to entertain, which it does, and this country would benefit
greatly if many more like-minded ensembles were to pick up the gauntlet and keep on swingin'
as well as they know how, simply for the sheer pleasure of helping other people unwind and
enjoy themselves." - AllAboutJazz.com
The selections offered by The Big Band Sound on
Live and Swingin'! prove that nothing gets people swinging better than
the sounds of the classic big bands! This was recorded live at a packed-house
swing dance and you can just feel the members of The Big Band Sound
feeding off of the incredible energy of the hundreds of dancers!
The Big Band Sound lives up to our name on Live and Swingin'!
by including the best of the
great orchestras of Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, Doc Severinson, Louis Prima,
Les Brown, Johnny Long, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Harry James and Stan Kenton.
Also included are several of Frank Sinatra's classic songs with big band backing,
a touch of the Andrews Sisters, and a couple of more contemporary compositions that follow
in the brassy big band tradition.
