Title: Another great lesser known band from the 40's
Product review: Bobby Sherwood was never a "name" band in the sense that Miller, Shaw, and the Dorseys were, but his was a really original outfit with great arrangements and soloists...amongst which Sherwood on guitar was a noticeable contributor(listen to 'Swingin at the Semloh' for a truly original acoustic intro). The later tracks have that great sax section sound, and the attack and drive on numbers like 'Poor Little Rich Girl' is up to the best standards of big band performance on record. He later appeared in films, but the recorded legacy of his 40s' band is fortunately with us for posterity. For those who's interest in big band music goes beyond the obvious, this CD is an absolute must have.
