EXCELLENT-MINT
Condition
(in MY opinion)
Check the scans.....
this AWESOME 3-DISC SET shows
ONLY
SOME
VERY MINOR FLAWS!
Those would be the the light wear & soiling evident on the tri-fold cardboard picture sleeve housing the three 45rpm records.....REALLY NOTHING that does anything to detract from this set's
DAZZLING APPEARANCE!
It is BEAUTIFUL!
HIGHLIGHTED by 3 VERY CLEAN 45rpm records, I would assume the SOUND QUALITY here would be OUTSTANDING (please note that I have NOT played these records…..my opinions are based strictly on a VISUAL INSPECTION), as they appear to exhibit
NO SCRATCHES, CRACKS, or DAMAGE OF ANY KIND!

The Swing Era Begins
From 1935 until after the Second World War a jazz-oriented style was at the center of popular music for the first time, as opposed to merely giving it backbone. The white bands made the most money, but they had taken up the music because they loved it; they were fully aware of the debt they owed to the black innovators and they made plenty of their own contributions, resulting in popular music whose quality will be rediscovered as long as people play records.
It was clarinetist Benny Goodman who was in the right place at the right time, and became “the King of Swing”. Born in a Chicago slum to an immigrant family, he studied music at Hull House, a charitable institution; he first performed in public at the age of twelve, and was playing good jazz while still in short pants. He played other reed instruments as well as clarinet, and even trumpet on records in the 1920s; after leaving Pollack in 1929, he became one of the busiest freelance musicians in the business. Often working with John Hammond, he played on Bessie Smith's last recording session and led the studio band on Billie Holiday's first session, both in 1933.
In 1952 it became even more clear that the classic Goodman band played better live than in the studio. A two-LP set of air-checks clumsily called 1937/38 Jazz Concert Number Two, one of the first issues of its kind, was released and became a number one album in Billboard. This groundbreaking LP was re-released in 1956 as a 3-disc “BOXED SET” of 45rpm records.
This is THAT SET, folks!
