About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

A Band Is Born/Big Band Bash collects two of Billy May's early-'50s albums onto one CD. Both albums balance his big-band roots with a bit of the pop he would explore in his later work. "All of Me," "Fat Man Boogie," and "Lulu's Back in Town" are some of A Band Is Born's exuberant highlights, while "Orchids in the Moonlight," "Perfidia," and "Tenderly" make Big Band Bash a more romantic -- but still swinging -- affair. A pair of May's most engaging albums. Heather Phares, All Music Guide

January 11, 2002: If you love the Big Band sound then this is a must for you. Although, these 2 albums were recorded in the 50's it still had the sound. You can dance to them or just listen to a man who could arrange wonderfully. It is comforting to also know that he learned from another great arranger in Glenn Miller. All 24 songs are great.
