Various - Tuxedo Junction

Review by Manuel Santana Ramos

Tuxedo Junction is a compilation album featuring a variety of artists and genres from the big band era. The album includes classics like "In the Mood" by Glenn Miller and "Take the 'A' Train" by Duke Ellington, as well as lesser-known tracks from lesser-known artists.

The album is a great introduction to the big band era, providing a diverse selection of songs that showcase the genre's range and versatility. The tracks are well-remastered and sound crisp and clear, making it easy to appreciate the intricate arrangements and musicianship of the era.

One downside of the album is that it doesn't delve too deeply into any particular artist or style, which may disappoint those looking for a more comprehensive exploration of the big band era. However, as a sampler of the genre, Tuxedo Junction is an excellent choice.

Summary by Manuel Santana Ramos

Tuxedo Junction is a solid collection of big band classics that will satisfy both casual listeners and more devoted fans of the genre. Its mix of well-known hits and hidden gems make it an enjoyable listen from start to finish.
