【專輯介紹】：

搖擺樂（英語：Swing music）是1930年代早期發源於美國的一種音樂類型，至1935年已形成獨特的風格。搖擺樂依靠由低音大提琴和鼓組成的節奏組來支撐旋律組(旋律組包含小喇叭、伸縮喇叭等銅管樂器、薩克斯風、單簧管等木管樂器，有時也會加入小提琴、吉他等弦樂器。)節拍速度大致多為中等至輕快，帶有搖擺的節奏感。

音樂之所以稱為「搖擺樂」，是由於音樂強調小節裡的下半拍或弱拍，因而帶來搖擺的感覺。搖擺樂樂團通常會有獨奏樂手為編制好的音樂加上即興演奏。1935年至1945年稱為「搖擺年代」(Swing Era)，在各大樂團以及古德曼(Benny Goodman)等樂團領班的演奏下，可供跳舞的搖擺樂稱霸當時的美國流行樂壇。

這張專輯於1991年在歐洲發行，致力於收錄各樂團以搖擺音樂相關的精選名曲，這些選曲是根據各種風格如'swing', 'Dixie', 'crooner', 'songs', 'bands' 等等。

Swing music, or simply Swing, is a form of American music that developed in the early 1930s and became a distinctive style by 1940. Swing uses a strong rhythm section of double bass and drums as the anchor for a lead section of brass instruments such as trumpets and trombones, woodwinds including saxophones and clarinets, and sometimes stringed instruments such as violin and guitar, medium to fast tempos, and a "lilting" swing time rhythm. The name swing came from the phrase ‘swing feel’ where the emphasis is on the off–beat or weaker pulse in the music (unlike classical music). Swing bands usually featured soloists who would improvise on the melody over the arrangement. The danceable swing style of big bands and bandleaders such as Benny Goodman was the dominant form of American popular music from 1935 to 1946, a period known as the Swing Era. The verb "to swing" is also used as a term of praise for playing that has a strong rhythmic "groove" or drive.

This album released in 1991 in Europe dedicated to recording of orchestral selections composed by medleys of various contents related to swing music. Involved in the recording 'The Kings of Swing Orchestra' and 'Larry Elgart & his Manhattan Swing Orchestra', sharing the repertoire of 7 subjects. The selections are presented under common content such as music of styles 'swing', 'Dixie', 'crooner', 'songs', 'bands' and so on. The interpretation of the two bands fall into patterns of modernized versions of pop-cutting similar to directors like Luis Cobos or Waldo de los Rios. In any case, this style always expresses its desire to release popular the swing music.
