  • Description

    Artie Shaw led one of the great bands of the Swing Era and from that band he formed a small group called The Gramercy 5. Having a 'band within a band' was a popular trend at the time and The Gramercy 5 were one of the best. Spanning a period from 1940 to 1954, this set presents what are are thought to be ALL the commercially released titles by the band. These include the familiar "Begin The Beguine", which became a million seller along with the very popular "Frenesi", also the hits "Summit Ridge Drive" and "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes". With bonus tracks that come from The Gramercy 5's appearances on radio programmes including very rare performances on the Radio Hall Of Fame and Kraft Music Hall, this is a release unsurpassed by any other.
