This first collection of swing & jazz performances from the archives of Acoustic Disc and Acoustic Oasis offers a broad sampling of improvisational styles and the musicians that created them, from Oscar Aleman’s classic rendition of “Russian Lullaby” (which inspired Jerry Garcia) to Garcia’s own take on Miles Davis’ “Milestones.”

Other highlights include historic cuts by string-jazz masters Svend Asmussen, Jethro Burns and Tiny Moore and some truly unique tracks — “Exploration I” by violin legend Stephane Grappelli, showcasing his rarely-heard piano mastery and a special guest appearance by the legendary Al “Jazzbo” Collins rapping along with the David Grisman Quintet. If you like swing and jazz, treat yourself to this amazing collection.
