"This is an abridged version of an original set produced by Les Brown, Jr. under his BANDS OF RENOWN label. This is so exciting
that I almost can't stand it....1954 STEREO cuts THREE YEARS
BEFORE the advent of commercial stereo....and it is SUPERB! The open spaciousness of the sound is staggering. I'll not go into
band personel at this time, as anyone reading this already know
about the first rate musicians Les employed at this time. A definate MUST HAVE FOR BROWN FANS...HISTORICAL, TOO..."
Brassy bold big band!

"Great classic big band sound with quite a bit of swing to it. Recorded in stereo at the Hollywood Palladium Dec 1954-Jan 1955, the sound quality is very good. With a variety of soloists, I'm especially impressed with the trumpeter Don Fagerquist. You'll be out on the dance floor with this one."
