This is an exciting set of rocking blues and R&B and many of these tracks have been filling dancefloors for years. Lucky Millinder's big band was big, really big. It was loud and raucous and designed mainly for dancers but over the years it was in action it featured some of the greatest jazz musicians and r&b players to ever grace a stage or recording studio. Features the vocal talents of such luminaries as: Trevor Bacon, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Wynonie Harris, and Annisteen Allen to name a few. The members of his orchestra were equally famous in the jazz world and feature such top flight musicians as: Bill Doggett; Sam 'The Man' Taylor; Dizzy Gillespie; Ike Quebec; Paul Quinichette and Art Blakey. Here then is a selection which is essentially a greatest hits collection mostly featuring the US chart entries. Whichever way you slice it there are many fine recordings here which have resonated through the past 60 years.
