Various Artists Swingsation: Sampler (1998)
(From the back of the jewel case)\n\nThe 1930s and '40s was a time when jazz was synonymous\nwith dance, an era when Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton,\nCount Basie and other bandleaders wooed their audiences\nwith a jumping sense of rhythm that easily united art and\nfrolic. In many quarters, that time has come around again. \nListeners all over the country are falling under the spell of the\nirresistable music that was the hallmark of the swing era.\n\nThe Swingsation series was designed to give contemporary\nlisteners a well-rounded perspective on the music that drove\ndancers into a frenzy a half-century ago. The technical\nmastery of the arrangements is obvious. But what's most\nimportant about these tracks is the highly-charged feeling\nof pleasure they display. Whether you do the jitterbug,\nLindy hop, shag or black bottom to these tunes, one\nthing is certain: as soon as they come leaping from the \nstereo, the blues will be chased away.\n\n(The last 4 tracks (13, 14, 15, and 16) are offered as\n"Bonus Tracks")\n\nOther discs in the Swingsation Series:\nCount Basie GRD-9920\nElla Fitzgerald with Chick Webb GRD-9921\nLionel Hampton GRD-9922\nJimmie Lunceford GRD-9923\nSampler GRD-9924\n YEAR: 1998
