1930年代半ばの珍しいBigBandの演奏集です。King Carter and his OrchestraはMills Blue Rhythm Band がColumbiaに録音するためのBand名で、この名前の録音はこの２つのセッションしかありません。Richard M. Jones (1892-1945)は作曲家、A＆Rマンとして名を馳せました。ここに聞かれるのは珍しい晩年の録音です。Frankie "Half Pint" Jaxon　（1896-1953)は声色を使って男女の歌を一人で歌い分けるという独特の芸を持っています。1930年代後半まで、そこそこの量の録音が残されています。Don Redman (1900-1964)はBig Band Jazzの草分けと言っても良い先駆者です。Henderson楽団の編曲の多くはRedmanの手になるものです。ここでは、珍しい1934年の映画のサウンドトラックの音源が収録されています。Yeah ManはHendersonの録音の編曲とは大分異なって洗練されています。Collectors Choiceはイタリアの会社のようですが今は活動していないようです。
