Review: Terrific album for an old geezer to buy, at a great price! - After a terrific hour of lighting the memory fires by way of Public Television, I was inspired to visit desertcart to see if the same cuts are available on CDs. They are! So I bought a three-disc box and I'm lovin' every minute of it. Next month, I'll get another album. And on and on. (Since AIG executives are living high on the hog on my retirement funds, I have to buy stuff like great music, piecemeal. Food, I buy on a regular basis, hoping to survive long enough to enjoy The Big Bands.) A footnote to all this: Many years ago, before the Middle World War, I played second trumpet in a road band owned of one of New York's biggies--Mickey Katz and His Kittens. I was one of the Kittens. Mickey is (was) the father of the great Joel Grey of Broadway fame. I played in the dance band on board the S.S. Goodtime, sailing daily between Cleveland and Cedar Point, Ohio. Hey, desertcart and PBS: Thanks for the memoories! Bob Montgomery Review: High Quality. Fast Shipping - I am highly satisfied with my purchase. The Benny Goodman record arrived on time, and in tact. When played, the sound is high quality. This seller is easy to work with, and I will gladly purchase from them again in the future. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000B8YTBC | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (14) | | Date First Available | September 2, 2005 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | Time Life Music | | Manufacturer | Time Life Music | | Number of discs | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 5.55 x 4.97 x 0.54 inches; 0.74 ounces | ## Images ![Big Bands - Glen Gray - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21sI+rP44ZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific album for an old geezer to buy, at a great price! *by R***Y on September 12, 2010* After a terrific hour of lighting the memory fires by way of Public Television, I was inspired to visit Amazon to see if the same cuts are available on CDs.

Hey, Amazon and PBS: Thanks for the memoories! Bob Montgomery ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High Quality. Fast Shipping *by A***R on October 30, 2019* I am highly satisfied with my purchase. The Benny Goodman record arrived on time, and in tact. When played, the sound is high quality. This seller is easy to work with, and I will gladly purchase from them again in the future. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweet Sounds Of The Famous Casa Loma Orchestra *by G***Y on September 25, 2007* This is but one volume of the massive Time-Life "mail order only" Big Band series of a couple of decades ago which covered all the early greats, and if you can get your hands on one of these Glen Gray editions at the price being shown, go for it. Fast while they last. The sound reproduction is excellent, and in the fold-out insert you get just over two full pages on the career of bandleader Glen Gray Knoblaugh who named his orchestra after the famous Toronto castle-turned-hotel, along with another two pages providing notes on each selection (author not identified). Also, there is a complete discography of the contents, including musicians involved, which range from 1931 to 1942. The tracks, with the date recorded and, where applicable, vocalist, label number and chart performance, are: 1) Put On Your Old Gray Bonnet - March 23, 1931 - vocal by Pee Wee Hunt - Brunswick 6100); 2) When I Take My Sugar To Tea - March 23, 1931 - vocal by Pee Wee Hunt - Brunswick 6085; 3) Chinatown, My Chinatown -Sept 17, 1934 - Decca 199; 4) Stompin' Around - Septr 24, 1934 - Decca 286; 5) Under A Blanket Of Blue - Sept 28, 1939 - vocal by Kenny Sargent - Decca 3193; 6) Casa Loma Stomp - July 23, 1937 - Decca 1412; 7) The Object Of My Affection - Nov 16, 1934 - vocal by Pee Wee Hunt - Decca 298 = # 10 Dec 1934/Jan 1935; 8) A Study In Brown - Feb 4, 1937 - Decca 1159; 9) For You - July 23, 1937 - vocal by Kenny Sargent - Decca 1412 as the flip of track 6); 10) Let Yourself Go - Feb 1, 1936 - vocal by Pee Wee Hunt - Decca 696; 11) Ay-Ay-Ay - Feb 20, 1939 - Decca 2437 as the flip of If I Had My Way; 12) Lazy Bones - Feb 20, 1939 - vocal by Louis Armstrong and Pee Wee Hunt - Decca 2395; 13) Royal Garden Blues - June 10, 1936 - Decca 986; 14) The Devil Is Afraid Of Music - Sept 4, 1935 - vocal by Pee Wee Hunt - Decca 553; 15) Swing Low, Sweet Chariot - July 23, 1937 - Decca 1396; 16) Bye Bye Blues - Sept 25, 1940 - vocal by Kenny Sargent - Decca 3639; 17) No Name Jive - March 18, 1940 = Decca 3089 - # 9 June 1940; 18) Sleepytime Gal - Dec 8, 1937 - Decca 15042 ; 19) Rose Of The Rio Grande - June 10, 1936 - Decca 869; 20) 'Til We Meet Again - April 5, 1942 - vocal by Kenny Sargent and chorus - Decca 18322; 21) Smoke Rings - July 23, 1937 - Decca 1473 - # 15 Nov 1937 and became his theme song. The paucity of hit singles in the above mix might seem to suggest that Gray was not as successful in that regard as some of his contemporaries (some of whose volumes in this series are filled with hits), but the fact is, from 1931 to 1945 he had 64 hit singles, including one R&B crossover, five # 1s, and 31 that finished in the Top 10. For reasons known only to the producers (Charles McCardell and Brian Miller) they chose to ignore most of those. One of the # 1 hits, 1935's When I Grow Too Old To Dream with vocal by Kenny Sargent, is regarded as one of THE top jazz tunes of all time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/30053049-big-bands-glen-gray](https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/30053049-big-bands-glen-gray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Israel* *Store origin: IL* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
