This band is all about swing music. Not modern swing, but authentic swing, as it was played and danced to at the height of the swing era. The library of the Ladd McIntosh Swing Orchestra is an eclectic mix of authentic swing classics--lovingly transcribed by McIntosh and enthusiastically performed by the band--and several fresh arrangements by Ladd on wonderful standards of the swing era. All of the music on this CD comes from a time when popular music in America was swing; and swing was king. Whether Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Count Basie, or Fletcher Henderson et al, this band recreates the fantastic sound and feel of each band in as authentic a manner as you could possibly hope to hear today. And the new arrangements by Ladd on standards of the era sound as fresh and innovative as the classics did when first introduced to the American public. This is a band for the ages.
