They Say...
World of Swing is an excellent budget-priced collection that captures the innovators of the genre taken from the vaults of the Columbia label. Included are 23 tracks that will delight fans who remember and cherish originators like Chick Webb, Don Redman, Fletcher Henderson, Cab Calloway, and Duke Ellington, while providing a valuable history lesson for those caught up in the retro-swing revival of Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Brian Setzer Orchestra.
