Release Notes:

It was the 1940s and BIG BAND was THE thing! "Jitterbugs", "Cats" and "Kittens" were
Lindy hopping and Jump JivinÆ in every ballroom and dancehall across the land. The Big
Band leaders such as Benny Goodman (the King of Swing), Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey, Woody
Herman, Artie Shaw and a host of others, were riding high. Loyal and enthusiastic fans
followed all the 'doings' of their favorite bands. The bandleader was the center of
attention in every Dance club, as the ladies swooned and all the men envied them. They
were the hippest cats in the land!

Now fast-forward 60 years to the Dance clubs of today. The music has changed and the
DJ has replaced the Big Band leader, but the atmosphere and the concept are still the
same. All over the world people are packed together on Dance floors while just one
person controls their every dance step.
 
For a while, other music was to take the place of the great bands, but with the new
millennium, a new generation has re-discovered Swing and Jazz. "Big Band - Remixed +
Reinvented" was born from the concept of combining the great music of the 40Æs with
the technology and the club DJ of today. On "Big Band - Remixed + Reinvented" you get
17 tracks of pure genius as DJ Spooky takes on Harry James, Chris Coco re-mixes Pete
Fountain, Chris Joss recycles Woody Herman and Kid Gusto tackles Jimmy Dorsey. Each
track is pure delight! Give a listen, as the music of our past generations becomes
the sound of today!
