Swingsation

GRP's Swingsation sampler may not satisfy collectors and hardcore fans, who already have these 14 featured songs on original albums or comprehensive collections. Nevertheless, this is a good collection for casual fans and neophytes, since it contains a good balance of familiar hits and lesser-known tunes from Goodman's Decca recordings, including "Stompin' at the Savoy," "One O'Clock Jump," "Let's Dance," "Sometimes I'm Happy," "Down South Camp Meeting" and, of course, " "Sing, Sing, Sing." It may not be definitive, but it's enjoyable and reprsentative enough to make it worth its budget price for curious listeners. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
