The Sunday Times Music Collection of the mid-1990s produced some fabulous compilations, of which Sax Appeal must rate as one of the best.
Twelve pieces, recorded by front-list bands between 1929 and 1944, are splashed across 35 minutes of play time.
This is quintessentially American music played by orchestras who usually had the conductor’s name in their title. Sadly, this 1995 CD appears not to be readily available.
