A celebration of the great names who personified the swing years with the recordings that are associated with them. Great performances from Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman and, of course, the great Glenn Miller feature songs still as popular today as ever, including 'In the mood' and 'Take the 'A' Train'
