RBT Big Band / RIAS Big Band – Classics Of Swing is an instrumental Bear Family CD featuring 11 tracks with a total playing time of approximately 40:30.

The selection also features a Glenn Miller Medley, followed by Mr. Anthony's Boogie, And The Angels Sing, Dob's Boogie, Jumpin' At The Woodside and Fatman Boogie. Rather than focusing on vocals, this release puts the emphasis firmly on the sound of a large swing orchestra and the arrangements themselves. The combination of the RBT Big Band and RIAS Big Band makes this a compact collection of classic big-band repertoire. FOMO for collectors and listeners who enjoy instrumental swing, traditional big-band arrangements and the unmistakable energy of large jazz orchestras. A concise Bear Family release for anyone wanting a selection of familiar swing standards in orchestral form.
