Our Take

The Nelson Riddle Collection 1941-1962 is a swingin' journey through the golden age of big band music, masterfully conducted by the one and only Riddle himself. This box set is a treasure trove of timeless classics, guaranteed to transport you back to a time when men wore suits and fedoras and women twirled in glamorous dresses.

Riddle's arrangements are nothing short of majestic, blending lush strings, punchy horns, and toe-tapping rhythms with seamless precision. From the sultry crooning of Frank Sinatra to the playful melodies of Ella Fitzgerald, Riddle's magic touch can be heard on every track, infusing each song with a sense of nostalgia and charm.

Tracks like "Route 66" and "Mack the Knife" showcase Riddle's ability to capture the essence of an era, while his original compositions like "Lisbon Antigua" and "Walkin' My Baby Back Home" demonstrate his versatility as a composer. Every note is executed with finesse and style, making this collection a must-have for any music lover looking to delve into the world of classic swing.

So grab a martini, put on your dancing shoes, and let the smooth sounds of Nelson Riddle sweep you off your feet. This collection is a musical time capsule that will have you swinging and swaying from start to finish. Cheers to Riddle, the maestro of the swingin' sixties!
