This is a re-make of the Big Band songs by, in my opinion, one of the greatest bands of our times, the band Chicago. I have performed music all my life, so I can appreciate what these guys have done with these songs. I bought my first Chicago-Night and Day album probably 10 years ago; since then I have bought five more of these for friends.

Excellent CD the music from the swing era was great and the interpretation on this album truely shows the musical skill that made Chicago the band that they are. I recommend this CD to all who truely love Chicago and to those who love Big Band music. It is hard to believe that a small band can make the music that Chicago has put on this CD. The style crosses the barrier and makes both categories seem like one. Every song has a unique sound that is wonderful. I highly recommend this CD.
I absolutely love this CD. Chicago has a way of taking a song and stamping their own signature on it. This is a fun, refreshing romp through the big band and swing era. the title cut is distracted somewhat for the first minute while you suffer through the 'jungle sounds'--not sure why that fits but once the real music starts...the magic begins. I highly recommend this sCD for anyone who appreciates that era of music and is looking for something new. Absolutely one of my best buys ever on EBay.
Big Band music with a modern twist. A nice mix of old and new. Clear sound, absent is the echoed acoustics from the 40's. Easy to listen to as soft background music.

A good album to buy if you are a Chicago "completist" or if you like big band done with a different twist. Some of the versions of these well known songs are better than others- "In the Mood", some are OK- "Take the A-Train". If you can get it cheap, it's well worth the time and money. Also, a good introduction to big band classics for those not familiar with that era.
