As a "late-life" only child, I grew up with this music. My parents were born in 1920 and 1921, and Dad served in the Army Air Corps during WWII. They played this music constantly in our home, and I consider it part of my soul. God bless you Mom and Dad!

I'm 93,I grew up❤with this music😅 my generation , was a wonderful time.sad time was the war.

I personally have no memories for this genre of music especially because I was born in 2007. Yet the feelings that come through my body when listening to this style of music is so calming and just a feeling I cant describe. I'm genuinely grateful for the people who put in the effort to create such a wonderful genre of music.

This music has one essential character: it's positive and uplifting.

This music will never go out of style. Like wine it gets better with age. Best music ever made.

I used to listen to big band music in the 70's on 78 records. My Dad was a bombardier in the South Pacific, but he died in the 50's in a Air Force plane crash. I was born 6 months later and this music makes me feel closer to him. Thank you.

My Dad was in the Army during WWII. I didn't come along until 13 kids later in 1969. I grew up with every 70's genre and the 80's hair bands and dance music. I even loved the 60's rock and folk music because of my older siblings but those tunes, even the great ones, dont stand up to these classics. You really had to be talented (all around music/dance) entertainer to be in any kind of show-biz back then. Man I love this music. Miss you Pop and thank for your service during the Big One!

I remember my parents dancing to this music in the kitchen, holding each other tightly, mother’s white dress swaying gently with every note, side to side and back. Imagine! So you see, it’s not just the music, it’s the memories this music etched in my soul. Only I didn’t know then I know it now: they were making love. No! No that kind, the kind that only couples in love truly feel. “I’m getting sentimental over you”

Roughly 40 years ago, in my teens/20's, I could never see the value in Big-Band music. Now that I'm well into my 60's, it has dawned on me how *classy* this music genre is, and that there was likely a great deal of work put in to make this sound so *wonderful!*

No fancy electronics, just pure talent 👍👍

I was born 1951,this was still on the radio when I was a kid and was my mom and dad's music. Learned how to dance to this stuff, wonderful.

Oh my heart…..my mom born in 1918…..Great Depression snd 2nd world war…. As a teenager she said this big band music and beer halls were her youth. I think this music beat Hitler in the 1940s…. Love it😉

This was the music of my past life.

"You ain't got a thing if you ain't got that swing"

I’m 54, grew up in the 80s and though it was the best time to be a kid….then I heard this music and instantly realized, I was born in the wrong generation. I experienced pleasure, and a kick in the balls at the same time!!!

I am 51 this year and I was born in the early 70s and grew up on 80s Metal and Pop music but I always loved this music as well. I remember to this day my grandpa saying at x mass one year " From Motley Crue to Benny Goodman. My dad had bought me a Benny Goodman C.D, I loved Benny since I was a kid. I was eccentric as a kid totally in to the past, Big Band era and silent films. I think I have an old Soul born long time ago living in a current body. I love this music thanks for sharing.

I AM NOW AN ''OLD FELLA'' WILL BE 81 NEXT MONTH. GREW UP WITH MUSIC. ALL THESE BIG BANDS ARE LEGENDARY. OF COURSE THEY EACH HAVE THEIR STYLE OF INTERPRETATION. I WAS BORDERING ON A NUT CASE FOR THE MUSIC OFTHE DUKE AND THE COUNT. STILL CRAZY ABOUT EM AS WELL AS GLEN MILLER AND SO MANY OF THE GREAT BANDS. ''MAN.., DAT IS REAL MUSIK!!!!! MAKE YOU WANT TO SHAKE UP YUH BODY AND ROLL YUH BUMSEE'' ON THE MORE ''SOPHISCATED'' SIDE I ALSO LOVE THE ''CLASSICS'' MEANING THE WORKS OF TCHAISKOWSKI, BRAHMS, BEETHOVEN, BACH, STRAUSS. STRAVINSKI ETC., I AM ALSO A MUSICIAN (VIOLIN). PLAY A LITTLE BIT OF VIOLIN CLASSICS AS WELL AS LATIN, FOOL AROUND WITH CALYPSO (Trinidad born but now live in Australia) MUSIC IS THE REAL ''TONIC OF LIFE'' DAT'S IS ALL FOR TODAY DMDV.

Is it weird that I am 11 years old and I enjoy this

I am 73 and grew up listening to Big Band Music ❤❤❤

I play trombone in a 40s style jazz band. Before the pandemic forced them to close their doors to non-resident-family visitors, we rehearsed in an assisted living center. The residents would come to our rehearsals and cheer for us, since we were playing the music they grew up with. I compare that to a really good Beach Boys cover group. I'd be there for every rehearsal, singing along with them!

I was born in the late 40s. Raised on my grandfather's farm house. All my uncles were in the air corps. After the war they worked as civilians at a near by airbase. On weekends (friday to sunday evenings) my grandfather along with my young aunts hosted parties on the weekends for the airmen. Dancing and of course libations from friday to sunday. The memories and big band music will always be with me. The American music...the big bands may it live and be played forever .

This was our parents music. Would have never listened to it as teenagers (70’s) . Absolutely love it now (70)! So calming.

Just moved into a home built in 1940 and this music makes it feel like home. You can’t not be happy while you listen to this thank you for sharing

I was brought up by my Grandparents, who i called Mum and Dad and during the war they danced to all this with Daddy throwingmy Mum over his shoulders, through his legs etc.. and still did when they were older. So Glad i grew up with such Amazing music !!!!

❤ I got the greatest gift in the world for my first birthday present. That was VJ day I was raised with this kind of music in the background, and no matter how much I love Bluegrass and Willie Nelson and ELO. This is the most soothing music for my soul.😂

Our Jazz Band in high school (I was Class of '73) played a lot of Big Band numbers....our band director was a big fan. At home, my Dad would put our local "big band" station on when he didn't feel like watching TV in the evening....his favorite band was Stan Kenton's. And then my cousin, the professional musician, played sax in the 1970's incarnation of the Glenn Miller Band for 5 or 6 years. As a result, I enjoy this music every bit as much as my late 60's-mid 70's progressive and psychedelic rock.

I got the love of big bands from my dad. When my kids were young, I took him to a place one night that had a big band show. We danced a lot. Great memory. My mom and brother babysat for me.

I SIMPLY LOVE THE BIG BAND ERA AND ALWAYS WILL

Our whole family listened to this when i was little!!!they don't make it like this anymore.oh the memories!!!thank you.

This is everything I need to be an antidote to the news. Thank you!

I'm constantly having anxiety attacks, this is the only thing that helped me lately thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

I love this music so much, not because it’s my era, I’m only 56, but I was around my grandparents a lot and they listened to this music and it reminds me of them and how much I loved them.

A lost memory in time.

Big band era died in 1949. Our music has gone down since. So sad...it needs to be restored...

I had always loved the setting,music and styles of pre and post World War II America.

I've gotten into big band music this year and very much like it. It's clean and great music

I have memories listening to this kind of music. I was born in the 70s but my grandfather was born in the 20s and this is the music he grew up on. So riding in the truck with him as a young man this is what I heard

I didn’t grow up listening to this. I grew up on oldies, classic rock and good country. I was introduced to this music by a video game. And boy I’m glad I was. I passed up fallout 3 when it came out, writing it off as a game I probably wouldn’t be interested in. Several years later I got it. And fell in love. It took a lot of the concepts from the 40s and 50s and brought them to life in a video game. I had always loved the setting and styles of pre and post World War II America. And this game made it even better.

Timeless music of the Greatest Generation!

Beautiful music; me Mom brought me well with Artie Shaw, Miller, folk like the younger soul, get on and listen, you’ll never regret it. I was raised by my mom (born 1924). Go for it 🙂

My in-laws had a record collection and this album included. I could tell by how worn the album cover and how scratched the vinyl, they must have listened to it thousands of times. They were born in 1924 and 1928 and married for 65 years and loved dancing, music, sports. God Bless them.

My grandfather loved big band music and now my newborn does too! Lol

This music is wonderful, it makes me feel alive.

The only people I know that listened to big band were my grandparents and ever since I lived with them it’s grown on me.

Well this made my 2021 a whole lot better with this music.

Music like this will never die!!!

My dad would play these albums at night over and over on his record player in his room!! We could hear it all over the house!

Great Country - Great Voices - Great Big Bangs - The Gold Era of America!!!

🎉 Bravo! ⚘️👏👏👏👏👏💐🎉

im so glad im fasinated with 1900 to 1960 other people think it weird but i think it awsome

My soul was there

Big band music is like a spark for optimism and finally letting a little bit of my walls down so I can just have a good time.

This genre of music is timeless!!!! ❤️❤️

This is music ...its talent ... reflects an age of optimism...not like some of the psychopathic music of today reflecting an intensly sick generation .

The best. Musical upbeat & psychological uplift ! Imagine nights out - listening and dancing to this sort of Big Band Live Music ! A completely different mind set / spirit in terms of music, fun, culture, humour, etiquette, romance etc. I keep asking myself why we so willingly gave that all up ? And keep getting only one answer: We must be insane ...

My greatgrandfather, not the murderer mentioned in a previous comment, but a different one, was born in 1921 and celebrated his 100th Birthday a few days ago, he grew up with this music and I still love it. He didn't remember me, but he was 100 years old and he never was my branch of the family all too much, provided he was in Massachussets and would spend the winter in Flroida, his furniture children living in both those places, whilst we were up in Maine.

LET’S BRING BACK 1940 SWING MUSIC

Sunday morning breakfast and coffee music.

Thank you so much for this. Love it. Can't afford to buy it, but it is here. I have sure missed my '40s junction.

I love music of the 1940s my brother too. I'm 69 and our dad fought in ww2!

This and much more was always playing at Grandpa's house or in his car. Always asking me if I could tell the difference of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, or the voice of Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby, or old blue eyes, or Danny Kaye, and so much more. Thank you for this it's all great memories for me.

This has got to be my favorite genre of music.

Smashing music. Absolutely timeless.

this music is the precursor to rock n roll

Simply Excellent.

I suffer from anxiety I can listen to this even the upbeat songs and it helps settle my nerves.

The neighbors across the street from me were of the Greatest generation. That is we’re I gained appreciation for big band .

Born @ 73 my boys love the big bands... One drives a stock ModelA the other a stock 55 and leans to doowop.

Very Good

Omg. Thank you for this! What a treasure find!!

Im a millennial, but this is OLD SCHOOL. But I learned a lot about entertainment in the 1940s.💯

This is a great album.

I'm sure I'm an 80 year old trapped in a 30 year old body. I love brassband music 🙂

I'm 18 and I love this kinds of music

I wasn't born until 1973 but I LOVE Big Band!! ❤

WAY BEFORE MY TIME BUT I ALWAYS LOVED THIS MUSIC WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER I STARTED LIKING IT!!

30s gold times ✨🎷

Thank you Past Perfect Vintage Music for preserving this timeless music. I'm in my 60s and I enjoy the big band era.

Classic americana. Gotta love it.

This playlist is fantastic, and the music is absolutely beautiful.

These folks were true musicians. The best 💯♥️😎

This is my favorite era of music. I love it. So fun and happy!

Recuerdo de mí juventud gracias por gratos momentos tengo 83 years

I'm 45 and I always remember my grandparents with this music! I love It! ❤

I love Glenn miller

I've always loved big bands and jazz. These genres of music help me relax as well as lower my BP and anxiety.

Best music ever made

I am born in 2003, but I love all these 30s-60s "REAL MUSIC"

Great collection of music.

This was the stuff my Gramma and grampa used to listen to in Chicago.

Swing jazz at it’s best. Music that held me captive and glued to the wireless. With all it’s ups and downs and problems we remember them - as the good ol’ days -! Nice nostalgic upload. Enjoy this trip thru memory-lane folks & Cheers!

One of the best style of music ever. Grew up with my dad playing this themes on vinyls. And the old Hollywood movies great memories

This style of Music that I wish would make a come back

I knew no one that listened to this music nor was it played in our home. I was born in 78 and have an extremely eclectic palate. I heard big band music in all the old gangster and war movies i watched and just love the music from them. Im also a person who believes people should dress up when out and about. I used to be trapped in the wrong decade, now it's a whole other century.

That sax🎷😌

MERCIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.VOUS ÊTES TOUJOURS LES MEILLEURS.JE VOUS AIME VOUS TOUS MUSICIENS DES ANNÉES 30/40

Love listening to this music while tasking . *Work maintenance . "Stocking plumbing fittings and such " , Makes the day go faster because its filled with fun , even when thrown a curve ball 😊

I appreciate this music so much thank you.

UNA DELICIA!!!! GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR ESTAS JOYAS DE LA MÚSICA!!! SALUDOS DESDE MÉXICO (NOV-2021)
