My parents and uncle grew up on this music. This was their time. And I grew up on this music as dad always played his a big Band albums he collected as a kid. His favorites were Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller. Have no doubt he liked Dorsey.
it's because you didn't have to have been alive to appreciate the good ol' days, when life was simple and joyous, you just need to know how crappy things have gotten today to appreciate it
I could listen to swing music every second of my life!!.... I know African Americans didn't live in the best of times back then but I would love to have seen the Rat Pack in person!!
In those days we had truly great African American bandleaders, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Fletcher Henderson, Lionel Hampton, Billy Eckstein to name only a few . Let alone the hordes of truly great musician, black and white. And the best white musicians like Benny Goodman always admitted the imporrtance of their black counterparts. Teddy Wilson and Lionel Hampton were part of the Goodman band. He would refuse to tour the south because of segregation or put up at segregated hotels anywhere. Now we only have Snoop Dog and rap crap.
@@ianbeddowes5362 Rap is already on the wane - but by definition RAP is not MUSIC it is LYRICS. THE truly great musicians of today are still sought out by performers. ANd there are LOTS of them too. However - instrumental recordings are not currently in Vogue - that will change as it does over the years. THere are still lots of "recording Musicians" ones who may not be with the Band - but play for the recordings because they will get it right when the bands people are not as precise. I did that for over 40 years - completely anonymous by contract.
My Mother passed away last week. She was 88 years old. Classically trained on the piano and music in general.. This was what she dug when she was young and could get away with it. I will dig this shit until I pass. --
This kind of music will never die, I just can't understand why we can't can't hear it on our major radio stations more often. Maybe it would come back to the young folks too!
I think I can tell ya why we don't hear it on the radio anymore. Radio salespeople can't sell it. Advertisers don't want to sink money into a format that's become too much of a "niche." Not enough of what's called "mass appeal."
@@ApartmentKing66 The fact is - and this is coming from an 84 year old - ALL music is good. IT is all made up of the same notes. Over the years = you had LOTS of artists and performers REMAKE old classics into their own. Change the arrangements like I only have eyes for you - and a song from the 20's became an icon of the early 50's. Lady Gaga is certainly singing a lot of OLD tunes with Tony Bennett as well. However - radio deals in Advertising - and radio stations deal with THEIR audience to get the right mix of People to make their money. AS people get older, they do not CONSUME as much on the things advertised on radio and not a desired audience - so there are few stations that would play such songs. Remembering that the Beatles are now ANCIENT - it all comes around.
@@kengoodman7719 its sad that ppl can see something as apolitical as this and have that response. Like bro, get out the house a bit. Politics isn't a sport. Politics isn't fun or exciting. Just enjoy something without having that being the first thing in your mind
@@HasBeensNAddicts what's sad is ppl can't see a time and culture that has been lost due to the politics of the left: cancel culture, CRT, and other Marxist ideologies. If you cannot see that, then go back to sleep.

Born in February, 1943 and only heard this music because the radio was on all day. My mother was listening for the war news. My dad was fighting in Europe with the 79th Division. Consequently, the only music I heard was big band while laying in my crib. I dearly love it and listening to it is so soothing and enjoyable.
If you can't appreciate different types of music then you either aren't a true musician or don't have the soul of one. There is music, and there is GREAT MUSIC, the latter of which is TIMELESS.
I HAVE NEVER HEARD OR SEEN THIS CD. I AM SO GLAD I FOUND IT. ROSEMARY CLOONEY AND NAT KING COLE ARE SO YOUNG! I MISS BOTH OF THEM. I GUESS MOST OF THESE TERRIFIC PLAYERS ARE GONE ON TO THE BIG JAZZ BAND IN THE SKY. SO GLAD WE CAN ENJOY THEIR TYPE OF MUSIC. THIS MUSIC SHOULD BE PLAYED 24/7 ON THE RADIO, JUST LIKE COUNTRY (WHICH I AM GETTING TIRED OF HEARING) AND LET'S DO AWAY WITH THE 70 AND 80'S MUSIC. THIS MUSIC LIFTS YOU UP AND MAKES YOU WANT TO MOVE! SYLVIA! 4/25/21
I wouldn't care to give up modern things just to listen to music I can listen to today anyway. You couldn't have made the comment I am replying to without them after all.
I'm a 3 year old donkey living in a copper mine in a cliff in Saudi Arabia, flatsharing with a camel, Clint Eastwood and the ghost of Al Capone and I love swing music more than I love shepherds pie, and I love my shepherds pie
I was born in 47, pretty much the end of the Big Band sound. I firmly believe that this music is at the root of the next 50 years of rock and roll. I don't know anyone else who likes this stuff.
I love this kind of music. Being a dancer, I love how I can mix ballet and Jazz and create such a funky fresh dance to go with the music. My love for this music came, when a friend of the family would play this all day, when we would visit or when he would visit. It stuck with me even though I screamed that I hated it. It's funny how far we can come over the years.
Big Band music is the best music ever, nothing can compare to it. I was there in WWII and there is where I first heard Big Band music over 60 years ago. I have been a fan since and love it.
Depending on where you live, if in a Major metropoltian area they do play swing on the radio! this is some awesome stuff makes ya feel HAPPY makes me want to do dances that I don't know how to do lol
well pandora has swing/big band I love pandora try that and you can even play it in the car if you have the cord plug one end into the phone, and the other end goes into the port on the radio (depending on the year of ya car lol) so I can listen commercial free and only to the Genres that I want in the car as well :) can't believe that VEGAS has no big band or swing music!! ????
serenity1107 I also use Pandora. But yeah, all they play here is crappy pop music, electronic, classical, hip-hop/R&B, country, and stuff in Spanish. I know, it's sad.
+jeansplace1 Yes! I'm 15 and I'm trying to bring this stuff back with kids my age, but they won't stop listening to that rap and whatever else they listen to :/
+Ryan Henderson get them into a little swing dancing, it can be a lot of fun if they will let loose for a while, it may help them enjoy other music varieties (and yes, you can swing dance to a lot of modern music)
i'm currently 15 years old, yet when i listen to this music or watch stuff related to the 30s, it feels like nostalgia, to a time when i wasn't even alive.
Hey guys.... I danced and listened to this number with the same band in Asheville, NC in 1950.... yes, I would like to re-live it!! (I'm only 81 now!!)
Kennedy your right about how music should just be enjoyed, and that people shouldn't compare two different things. But what he was saying is swing is so pure and hasn't been remastered at all that it will never die. and that nothing will sound so pure again because it's purely instruments with no digital tweaks. Some people just gotta have that swing! but hey I'd listen to rap or swing to get motivated to clean my house :P Music is life, just love it all.
1951-1952 or later, Mother would set me with my blanky in front of our big cabinet model radio, and I was happy as a clam for hours. This was the kind of wonderful music that kept me perfectly happy, not that she didn't enjoy it as well!
I went to watch a swing band up in Kendal a few weeks ago. I went to watch my paly who plays Bass Trombone in the same British Brass Band as me. The music that I heard his swing band playing was so much more enjoyable for the audience that the stuff that we play at our Brass Band Concerts.
I'm going to a WWII USO Show next weekend on a refurbished 1940's train. I'm beyond excited and cannot wait to hep to the jive with other kittens and Jacks.
This is wonderful music! I am younger but I still highly enjoy this type of music. Just if they had music like this now a days instead of all the rap and such. Thank you for this wonderful music.
The best thing about swing is that everyone has fun, you can see it in everyone. Those listening have fun, and my word is it fun to play in a big band!
***** It hasn't. No...it's not nearly as big and popular as it once was, but it's still out there. You just have to know where to look. If you live in a large enough city, you can find big bands playing this music to this day.
I was born in 1970. I love this music and stuff before this time. It was the same with me. While friends were listening to the 80s rock, I was listening to folk music, 50s and 60s doo wop, 60s rock, the big band era stuff and stuff even earlier. They thought it strange I liked that music. It can feel a bit isolating when you have no one of your piers to talk about that awesome music. Probably why even as a young child, I got along a lot better with people 20 or more years older than me. Old soul? Perhaps....can't help what I like. LOL!
I was fortunate that this music was still in vogue when I was in HS in the early '50's before Elvis and rock 'n roll marked the beginning of the end of great pop music. It never completely died, but only a handful of radio stations still play the old recordings nowadays. I'm just glad that I still have some old 78 rpm vinyl records, and more good stuff can be heard on RUclips. I don't think itt will ever go out of style with my generation, but we're becoming fewer with very day that passes.
Great music!!! Unfortunately in a time of opression..Beautiful music though!!! For all the brothers who have fallen and this may have been the last thing you listened to I drink tonight in your memory!!!! God Bless you all!!! You will always be in my thoughts and heart! Thanks!!!
As an art form it stands regal and above. And to see these pillars of musicianship and voice performing on film as they were back in the day is the pinnacle of nostalgia, the real deal.
Yes swing was the greatest music! I can be listening to the Beattles, who I love, but have to leave it alone and go back to Benny Goodman's 1938 concert just to relax!
Love this presentation. I dislike when the music is only accompanied by a still shot of the album cover. To see the actual performances is wonderful. Thank you!
i first discovered this stuff when i was 22 and now im 34 and i have two big bands cd's i was surprised how much stuff these people made considering it is the precursor to what would be known as rock n roll and someone did a really nice job protecting these recording cause' this stuff is as old as the old Victrola 78rpm record player my mom said her parents used to play this stuff for for the children back then
i think that big band music is pretty well loved by people of all ages if they actually listen to it for a few minutes. it just has such good rhythm and grooves so well. I have a mix that i play or parties that includes a lot of big band music and whenever those songs come on everyone starts tapping their foot/etc and they love it!
@@jamesgodfrey7688 sorry, I don’t really understand what you mean? I’m not saying it should be exclusively big band/swing/jazz/etc. (heck, I love modern synth/vaporwave and trance type music!) I just meant that it’s good stuff and most people seem to like it, at least as part of a larger mix of styles. 🤷♀️
La música buena, los buenos intérpretes, los temas inolvidables, nunca van a pasar de moda. . . sin estridencias, sin luces psicodélicas, sin humo, sin sensacionalismo barato. . . . .son buenos y nada más. . . . .que nunca se pierdan estos videos. . . son joyas musicales. . .. . .!!
You are absolutely right. Like the great compositions of the baroque and romantic composers. This music will always live among educated and serious music lovers. My middle daughter has a doctorate in music ( U. of Maryland) and her thesis was on Spanish composers and music!
We bore and bred the Big Band music in the world in the 40s. It spread all over the world and people everywhere loved it. I just love it and am especially drawn to the string bass which seems to weave it's way through all the horns and drums. I love Dorothy Dandridge with the Glenn Miller Orchestra doing "Chattanooga Choo Choo" and "In the Mood." I can only imagine what it must have been like in the time of a world war. I think the music helped win the war because it reminded so many GI's of good times at home.

I hate it when people are trying to sound better and more important by saying "Oh, I'm young but I don't listen to that new music of today, I prefer this, I have better musical taste, etc etc." I get it, we have a opinions. But there's no need to make the people who enjoy listening to more modern music feel bad. I love house music and electronic music and funk metal, and I also love this.
Charlie dear I send to you my biggest gratitude for this treasure you are to share with us who love this MUSIC real MUSIC Please keep on sending these marvels With much love Regina
I vow to have a big band that will rival these giants within ten years. I don’t normally comment on stuff, but this is what I’m using as a motivator. If you’re reading this, get ready for it.
yo conozco en Rosario Santa Fe Argentina una banda que hace swing jazz music, lo hacen muy bien. En esa banda hay un chica que canta y lo hace en ingles

Forget what people think, life's too short. Enjoy what you can, when you can.

This is the era when music was truly music you won't see this nowadays.
Agree. 👍

there are jazz radio stations, ofc you wont hear it from a major station plagued with random ads and meaningles podcasts
if you cant understand why this music isnt on major radio stations then you're probably retarded. just being honest.

I was lucky to hear this music. It was great.
Music and Composition at it's best
Love this presentation. I dislike when the music is only accompanied by a still shot of the album cover. To see the actual performances is wonderful. Thank you!
D, yeah, but we'll take what we can anymore 😊
As soon as you play In The Mood at a dance or wedding the dance floor fills up.
i first discovered this stuff when i was 22 and now im 34 and i have two big bands cd's i was surprised how much stuff these people made considering it is the precursor to what would be known as rock n roll and someone did a really nice job protecting these recording cause' this stuff is as old as the old Victrola 78rpm record player my mom said her parents used to play this stuff for for the children back then
Isto que é musica sensacional, òtima de ser ouvida e apreciada.
J'aurais aimé pouvoir écouter cette musique avec mon regretté grand-père. On aurait adoré. Le swing est inter-générationnel.
i think that big band music is pretty well loved by people of all ages if they actually listen to it for a few minutes. it just has such good rhythm and grooves so well. I have a mix that i play or parties that includes a lot of big band music and whenever those songs come on everyone starts tapping their foot/etc and they love it!
Miss, it's a whole Genera that's missing in society, but progress?😮
Good nite every one!🎉
@@jamesgodfrey7688 sorry, I don’t really understand what you mean?
I’m not saying it should be exclusively big band/swing/jazz/etc. (heck, I love modern synth/vaporwave and trance type music!) I just meant that it’s good stuff and most people seem to like it, at least as part of a larger mix of styles. 🤷♀️
Truly fantastic. Its great being a swing drummer. Even though a rock band will be paid more than just fuel expenses. The music is everything :)
Extraordinarios arreglos musicales auténtica música original felicitaciones lindisimo
grew up with big bands, love them
I was born in 1924 and I sure do love this old stuff!
Sensacional Tommy Dorsey, Benny Carter, Harry James fenômenos da Música Americana, ritmos contagiantes. Parabéns pela Postagem.
La música buena, los buenos intérpretes, los temas inolvidables, nunca van a pasar de moda. . . sin estridencias, sin luces psicodélicas, sin humo, sin sensacionalismo barato. . . . .son buenos y nada más. . . . .que nunca se pierdan estos videos. . . son joyas musicales. . .. . .!!
You are absolutely right. Like the great compositions of the baroque and romantic composers. This music will always live among educated and serious music lovers. My middle daughter has a doctorate in music ( U. of Maryland) and her thesis was on Spanish composers and music!
WOW! That pianist in Benny Carter's orchestra is incredible!
nat king cole
O.o How did I not recognize him?
Which one? Nat Cole is the second. Yeah, THAT Nat "King" Cole and pater of Natalie Cole.
Mom turned me on to this, just another reason to miss her terribly.
Great, now I can't stop listening to this...
We bore and bred the Big Band music in the world in the 40s. It spread all over the world and people everywhere loved it. I just love it and am especially drawn to the string bass which seems to weave it's way through all the horns and drums. I love Dorothy Dandridge with the Glenn Miller Orchestra doing "Chattanooga Choo Choo" and "In the Mood." I can only imagine what it must have been like in the time of a world war. I think the music helped win the war because it reminded so many GI's of good times at home.

I hate it when people are trying to sound better and more important by saying "Oh, I'm young but I don't listen to that new music of today, I prefer this, I have better musical taste, etc etc." I get it, we have a opinions. But there's no need to make the people who enjoy listening to more modern music feel bad. I love house music and electronic music and funk metal, and I also love this.
+Braden Cerny I like Amy Winehouse. Did'nt know about her music until after she passed- GOD Bless--away.
+Braden Cerny i feel the same thing i love the swing in the music !
Charlie dear I send to you my biggest gratitude for this treasure you are to share with us
who love this MUSIC real MUSIC Please keep on sending these marvels
With much love Regina
This is the kind of music I would love to play loudly on my record player.
Just go ahead and play it Lyddie J. Hall. I like loud music, too, when it is as good as this! SYLVIA! 4/25/21
L, you it Baby!
Lived through all the great bands. The 40s 50s and 60s
Me, too! Loved it all up until the 70's. From then on most of the music was "down", whereas before then the music was "up". SYLVIA!
My mom would have done the same. On A fasching party she came desguised in a dress of the roaring 20ies and she knew how to dance these melodies!
Hello Marion, How are you doing?
Glorious days for the music!
Ain't gonna lie, Fallout was what got me into swing. It's just such a happy sound though.
For me it was when I somehow noticed a name of a song from Tom & Jerry when I was like 12 and Fallout brought me back to it like two years ago :)
Same here :) it's refreshing to listen to after hearing non stop sexual innuendos in radio songs that are played nowadays.
zomban55 silence is the best noise
Fallout? Are you talkin' 'bout the radioactive kind? Or, is that a band name?
I got into the Swing era because of Mafia 2. Good times when I played it in my early teen years listening to Empire Central Radio in the 40s part
I was born in 1995 and if anyone think I'm weird because I'm listing this great music than I just feel sorry for him. ;)
The thing about swing music is that EVERYONE can hum along to it without it being annoying which is what some music today is missing
I vow to have a big band that will rival these giants within ten years. I don’t normally comment on stuff, but this is what I’m using as a motivator. If you’re reading this, get ready for it.
yo conozco en Rosario Santa Fe Argentina una banda que hace swing jazz music, lo hacen muy bien. En esa banda hay un chica que canta y lo hace en ingles
YOU ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE DANCED TO THIS! my generation's music is all so wrong :(
