As a "late-life" only child, I grew up with this music. My parents were born in 1920 and 1921, and Dad served in the Army Air Corps during WWII. They played this music constantly in our home, and I consider it part of my soul. God bless you Mom and Dad!
My mom and dad were both born in the 30's, and my dad served in Korea. However, I was raised on classical, big band and oldies. I will be forever grateful to them that I was :)
Very similar early years growing up. My dad was a B-17 Pilot with the 95th BG. My mom worked in NYC at a servicemen club during the war. Music they loved was Glen Miller (who my dad saw perform at the 95th's 200th Mission party at Horham, England in September 1944) Benny Goodman, my mom loved Gene Krupa, Arte Shaw and well you get the idea. Listening to this here, now, I recall my dad's tales of the war. You want to see some photos of my dad and other family ww2 vets, etc. markerickson.com/Family_History/Ernest_Erickson/
@@lindalyons3601 Do you know what bomb/fighter etc group he was in and when /where he served in the war? Music like this came down to me from my parents, even though I grew up on Rock/Jazz etc. this kind of music I played and enjoyed and now even more.
My parents were classical musicians in England and a lot of it was heard at home BUT, at parties and shindigs, it was only jazz, swing, and big bands music. How I remember all the grown-ups laughing, singing and dancing. And the children too.
Wow, I love your generations type of music so much! Even though I’ve never been through your era (from being born into the late 2000’s) there’s just something so nostalgic and fascinating about the past to me. Specifically the music and eras of the 50’s to the 80’s. I wish I was born around those periods so I could experience those wonderful eras, there really were magical. Even if there were wars and hard times back then, I just think it was a better time to be in then what we live in now.
I LOVE seeing all the older folks reminiscing in the comment sections of videos like this. I imagine it must be wonderful to have this technology you probably never even dreamed of when you were our age to listen to the music from your younger years on. 🥰
I personally have no memories for this genre of music especially because I was born in 2007. Yet the feelings that come through my body when listening to this style of music is so calming and just a feeling I cant describe. I'm genuinely grateful for the people who put in the effort to create such a wonderful genre of music.
Same bestie. I'm also 2007, joined my highschools Big Band a term ago and it makes me feel so skdjjfhduejrfh, idek. Specially when we have night practices because the school is empty and it's dark. The feeling is just amazing, makes me feel like I've been rebirthed or something.
You should also consider listening to classical music. Tchaikovski, Beethoven, Wagner, etc. Written, arranged, composed and performed only live, by humans. No synths, amps, mics, or recording. Everything written on paper and recorded. Live. Every classical piece you listen to today is performed based on the written pieces of the masters. One person wrote all the parts , for all the instruments. Pretty impressive when you compare it to todays music.
I was born in the late 40s. Raised on my grandfather's farm house. All my uncles were in the air corps. After the war they worked as civilians at a near by airbase. On weekends (friday to sunday evenings) my grandfather along with my young aunts hosted parties on the weekends for the airmen. Dancing and of course libations from friday to sunday. The memories and big band music will always be with me. The American music...the big bands may it live and be played forever .
I used to listen to big band music in the 70's on 78 records. My Dad was a bombardier in the South Pacific, but he died in the 50's in a Air Force plane crash. I was born 6 months later and this music makes me feel closer to him. Thank you.
I so sorry for your loss. Imagine when you see your father for the first time however. In heaven. This will be quite an experience foe you. I wonder what this will be like for you. Do you ever think about this 🤔 too?
"May the joyful sounds of these great American big bands lift our spirits and remind us of the blessings of music, bringing harmony and peace to our hearts."
I remember my parents dancing to this music in the kitchen, holding each other tightly, mother’s white dress swaying gently with every note, side to side and back. Imagine! So you see, it’s not just the music, it’s the memories this music etched in my soul. Only I didn’t know then I know it now: they were making love. No! No that kind, the kind that only couples in love truly feel. “I’m getting sentimental over you”
My Dad was in the Army during WWII. I didn't come along until 13 kids later in 1969. I grew up with every 70's genre and the 80's hair bands and dance music. I even loved the 60's rock and folk music because of my older siblings but those tunes, even the great ones, dont stand up to these classics. You really had to be talented (all around music/dance) entertainer to be in any kind of show-biz back then. Man I love this music. Miss you Pop and thank for your service during the Big One!
nah, this is good, but its not "never will be surpassed good" many genres post 1965 music revolution have incredibly hard work put into them, they WERE talented, YOU just didn't see it
I have memories listening to this kind of music. I was born in the 70s but my grandfather was born in the 20s and this is the music he grew up on. So riding in the truck with him as a young man this is what I heard
I got the love of big bands from my dad. When my kids were young, I took him to a place one night that had a big band show. We danced a lot. Great memory. My mom and brother babysat for me.
I AM NOW AN ''OLD FELLA'' WILL BE 81 NEXT MONTH. GREW UP WITH MUSIC. ALL THESE BIG BANDS ARE LEGENDARY. OF COURSE THEY EACH HAVE THEIR STYLE OF INTERPRETATION. I WAS BORDERING ON A NUT CASE FOR THE MUSIC OFTHE DUKE AND THE COUNT. STILL CRAZY ABOUT EM AS WELL AS GLEN MILLER AND SO MANY OF THE GREAT BANDS. ''MAN.., DAT IS REAL MUSIK!!!!! MAKE YOU WANT TO SHAKE UP YUH BODY AND ROLL YUH BUMSEE'' ON THE MORE ''SOPHISCATED'' SIDE I ALSO LOVE THE ''CLASSICS'' MEANING THE WORKS OF TCHAISKOWSKI, BRAHMS, BEETHOVEN, BACH, STRAUSS. STRAVINSKI ETC., I AM ALSO A MUSICIAN (VIOLIN). PLAY A LITTLE BIT OF VIOLIN CLASSICS AS WELL AS LATIN, FOOL AROUND WITH CALYPSO (Trinidad born but now live in Australia) MUSIC IS THE REAL ''TONIC OF LIFE'' DAT'S IS ALL FOR TODAY DMDV.
COMPLETELY FORGOT ONE ''STEPHANE GRAPELLI'' THE GREAT FRENCH MAN., ITALIAN SURNAME BUT GREW UP IN FRANCE. WHAT A MASTER OF JAZZ HIS PLAYING WAS ''SMOOTH AS SILK'' MADE IT LOOK EASY!!!!! HE IS NO LONGER WITH US BUT WHAT A RECORD HE LEFT.
I am 90 heats old Born in 1933 i love very much those orchestras so beautifully player Manny thanks for them I enjoy always those. Players ❤thank you very much to all those wonderfull players so beautifully played waar a good rythem my best regards to those who listen nou 😊🎉
❤ I got the greatest gift in the world for my first birthday present. That was VJ day I was raised with this kind of music in the background, and no matter how much I love Bluegrass and Willie Nelson and ELO. This is the most soothing music for my soul.😂
I was brought up by my Grandparents, who i called Mum and Dad and during the war they danced to all this with Daddy throwingmy Mum over his shoulders, through his legs etc.. and still did when they were older. So Glad i grew up with such Amazing music !!!!
Roughly 40 years ago, in my teens/20's, I could never see the value in Big-Band music. Now that I'm well into my 60's, it has dawned on me how *classy* this music genre is, and that there was likely a great deal of work put in to make this sound so *wonderful!*
Oh my heart…..my mom born in 1918…..Great Depression snd 2nd world war…. As a teenager she said this big band music and beer halls were her youth. I think this music beat Hitler in the 1940s…. Love it😉
Our Jazz Band in high school (I was Class of '73) played a lot of Big Band numbers....our band director was a big fan. At home, my Dad would put our local "big band" station on when he didn't feel like watching TV in the evening....his favorite band was Stan Kenton's. And then my cousin, the professional musician, played sax in the 1970's incarnation of the Glenn Miller Band for 5 or 6 years. As a result, I enjoy this music every bit as much as my late 60's-mid 70's progressive and psychedelic rock.
Beautiful music; me Mom brought me well with Artie Shaw, Miller, folk like the younger soul, get on and listen, you’ll never regret it. I was raised by my mom (born 1924). Go for it 🙂
I was born in 1993 and my parents around 1960. This music resonates with me better than the stuff of their youth (70s and 80s rock pop and new wave) let alone thevso-called "music" of today.
I used to wonder who was better Goodman or Shaw. Its taken me a long time to figure it out, but now I know great as both are its Shaw on top. I don't know why it took me so long to choose
I knew no one that listened to this music nor was it played in our home. I was born in 78 and have an extremely eclectic palate. I heard big band music in all the old gangster and war movies i watched and just love the music from them. Im also a person who believes people should dress up when out and about. I used to be trapped in the wrong decade, now it's a whole other century.
I play trombone in a 40s style jazz band. Before the pandemic forced them to close their doors to non-resident-family visitors, we rehearsed in an assisted living center. The residents would come to our rehearsals and cheer for us, since we were playing the music they grew up with. I compare that to a really good Beach Boys cover group. I'd be there for every rehearsal, singing along with them!
I didn’t grow up listening to this. I grew up on oldies, classic rock and good country. I was introduced to this music by a video game. And boy I’m glad I was. I passed up fallout 3 when it came out, writing it off as a game I probably wouldn’t be interested in. Several years later I got it. And fell in love. It took a lot of the concepts from the 40s and 50s and brought them to life in a video game. I had always loved the setting and styles of pre and post World War II America. And this game made it even better.
My in-laws had a record collection and this album included. I could tell by how worn the album cover and how scratched the vinyl, they must have listened to it thousands of times. They were born in 1924 and 1928 and married for 65 years and loved dancing, music, sports. God Bless them.
I love this music so much, not because it’s my era, I’m only 56, but I was around my grandparents a lot and they listened to this music and it reminds me of them and how much I loved them.
The best. Musical upbeat & psychological uplift ! Imagine nights out - listening and dancing to this sort of Big Band Live Music ! A completely different mind set / spirit in terms of music, fun, culture, humour, etiquette, romance etc. I keep asking myself why we so willingly gave that all up ? And keep getting only one answer: We must be insane ...
My greatgrandfather, not the murderer mentioned in a previous comment, but a different one, was born in 1921 and celebrated his 100th Birthday a few days ago, he grew up with this music and I still love it. He didn't remember me, but he was 100 years old and he never was my branch of the family all too much, provided he was in Massachussets and would spend the winter in Flroida, his furniture children living in both those places, whilst we were up in Maine.
My parents were born in 1907/1913. They listened to this music a lot. Another wonderful thing was my siblings stretched from the 1940's to 1960's I had a real education when it came to listening to music.
I am 51 this year and I was born in the early 70s and grew up on 80s Metal and Pop music but I always loved this music as well. I remember to this day my grandpa saying at x mass one year " From Motley Crue to Benny Goodman. My dad had bought me a Benny Goodman C.D, I loved Benny since I was a kid. I was eccentric as a kid totally in to the past, Big Band era and silent films. I think I have an old Soul born long time ago living in a current body. I love this music thanks for sharing.
@@PastPerfectVintageMusic What really scares the youngsters, I think....is I'm pushing 80, and look 53, hehe. I remember this music far better than they give me credit for. Love listening to it while playing Fallout 4 😂
Love listening to this music while tasking . *Work maintenance . "Stocking plumbing fittings and such " , Makes the day go faster because its filled with fun , even when thrown a curve ball 😊
This and much more was always playing at Grandpa's house or in his car. Always asking me if I could tell the difference of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, or the voice of Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby, or old blue eyes, or Danny Kaye, and so much more. Thank you for this it's all great memories for me.
I was 7 when the WW 11 ended and big band music was still popular. You had to be a real musician in those days. But along came guitar music and bands disappeared. Try sitting still listening to BENNY GOODMAN playing SING, SING, SING.
Gotta be the best type of music humans have ever come up with - feeling you get from this isn’t matched by any other genre - I’ll never get bored of it
Swing jazz at it’s best. Music that held me captive and glued to the wireless. With all it’s ups and downs and problems we remember them - as the good ol’ days -! Nice nostalgic upload. Enjoy this trip thru memory-lane folks & Cheers!

Hey same lol
This is not my account tho
I am 73 and grew up listening to Big Band Music ❤❤❤
WoW! 73 is a lot. I'm 4.5. My goal is to get to double digits. After that, everything else is gravy.
Me too I’m 71👍
This music will never go out of style. Like wine it gets better with age. Best music ever made.
Beyond laid back, yet exciting. Priceless.
So agree 👍
I totally agree
This is the truth.
This music has one essential character: it's positive and uplifting.
AMEN
Omg. Thank you for this! What a treasure find!!
I was born in the late 40s. Raised on my grandfather's farm house. All my uncles were in the air corps. After the war they worked as civilians at a near by airbase.

I was born 1951,this was still on the radio when I was a kid and was my mom and dad's music. Learned how to dance to this stuff, wonderful.

I've gotten into big band music this year and very much like it. It's clean and great music
Just moved into a home built in 1940 and this music makes it feel like home. You can’t not be happy while you listen to this thank you for sharing
im so glad im fasinated with 1900 to 1960 other people think it weird but i think it awsome
All I can say is I agree with all the above ( fantastic )
I love music of the 1940s my brother too. I'm 69 and our dad fought in ww2!
Oh my heart…..my mom born in 1918…..Great Depression snd 2nd world war…. As a teenager she said this big band music and beer halls were her youth. I think this music beat Hitler in the 1940s…. Love it😉
Big band music is like a spark for optimism and finally letting a little bit of my walls down so I can just have a good time.
We're not here to have a good time. We're here to labor. Now get back to work. 😠 😡
Just kidding. Party on Garth, party on. 🍾 🥂 🎉
Our whole family listened to this when i was little!!!they don't make it like this anymore.oh the memories!!!thank you.

I play trombone in a 40s style jazz band. Before the pandemic forced them to close their doors to non-resident-family visitors, we rehearsed in an assisted living center. The residents would come to our rehearsals and cheer for us, since we were playing the music they grew up with.
I compare that to a really good Beach Boys cover group. I'd be there for every rehearsal, singing along with them!
I've always loved big bands and jazz. These genres of music help me relax as well as lower my BP and anxiety.
Simply Excellent.
I didn’t grow up listening to this. I grew up on oldies, classic rock and good country. I was introduced to this music by a video game. And boy I’m glad I was. I passed up fallout 3 when it came out, writing it off as a game I probably wouldn’t be interested in. Several years later I got it. And fell in love. It took a lot of the concepts from the 40s and 50s and brought them to life in a video game. I had always loved the setting and styles of pre and post World War II America. And this game made it even better.
Fallout 4 is even better.
@@InquisitorMatthewAshcraft Both pretty great.. and both suck absolute shit compared to New Vegas.
@@spectrealangritch Everyone's entitled to their opinion, for me...
At least my pip boy hasn't glitched up lately 🤣
My in-laws had a record collection and this album included. I could tell by how worn the album cover and how scratched the vinyl, they must have listened to it thousands of times. They were born in 1924 and 1928 and married for 65 years and loved dancing, music, sports. God Bless them.
And God bless you.
Hello beautiful its nice to meet you here, i saw your comment is really amazing, how are you?
God bless you.
This music is wonderful, it makes me feel alive.
This was our parents music. Would have never listened to it as teenagers (70’s) . Absolutely love it now (70)! So calming.
The only people I know that listened to big band were my grandparents and ever since I lived with them it’s grown on me.
MERCIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.VOUS ÊTES TOUJOURS LES MEILLEURS.JE VOUS AIME VOUS TOUS MUSICIENS DES ANNÉES 30/40
I love this music so much, not because it’s my era, I’m only 56, but I was around my grandparents a lot and they listened to this music and it reminds me of them and how much I loved them.
The best. Musical upbeat & psychological uplift !
Imagine nights out - listening and dancing to this sort of Big Band Live Music ! A completely different mind set / spirit in terms of music, fun, culture, humour, etiquette, romance etc.
I keep asking myself why we so willingly gave that all up ? And keep getting only one answer: We must be insane ...
My greatgrandfather, not the murderer mentioned in a previous comment, but a different one, was born in 1921 and celebrated his 100th Birthday a few days ago, he grew up with this music and I still love it. He didn't remember me, but he was 100 years old and he never was my branch of the family all too much, provided he was in Massachussets and would spend the winter in Flroida, his furniture children living in both those places, whilst we were up in Maine.
I SIMPLY LOVE THE BIG BAND ERA AND ALWAYS WILL
These folks were true musicians. The best 💯♥️😎
My parents were born in 1907/1913. They listened to this music a lot. Another wonderful thing was my siblings stretched from the 1940's to 1960's I had a real education when it came to listening to music.
Thank you so much for this. Love it. Can't afford to buy it, but it is here. I have sure missed my '40s junction.
Music like this will never die!!!
Great Country - Great Voices - Great Big Bangs - The Gold Era of America!!!
That was not a good era for America. The decades before and after where way better
I am 51 this year and I was born in the early 70s and grew up on 80s Metal and Pop music but I always loved this music as well. I remember to this day my grandpa saying at x mass one year " From Motley Crue to Benny Goodman. My dad had bought me a Benny Goodman C.D, I loved Benny since I was a kid. I was eccentric as a kid totally in to the past, Big Band era and silent films. I think I have an old Soul born long time ago living in a current body. I love this music thanks for sharing.
Timeless music of the Greatest Generation!
I suffer from anxiety I can listen to this even the upbeat songs and it helps settle my nerves.
I'm 45 and I always remember my grandparents with this music! I love It! ❤
2020 and this music is still awesome! Like my grandma used to always say, when music was music.
I was born 1949. My very first memories are these tunes playing in my grandparents.
This is everything I need to be an antidote to the news. Thank you!
Same here pal!
Yep bingo 🐱🔥🌵

One of the best style of music ever. Grew up with my dad playing this themes on vinyls. And the old Hollywood movies great memories

This has got to be my favorite genre of music.
20 plus years, vet retire love it. Nothing like it. Never stop. Congrats.
This genre of music is timeless!!!! ❤️❤️
Im a millennial, but this is OLD SCHOOL. But I learned a lot about entertainment in the 1940s.💯
I'm constantly having anxiety attacks, this is the only thing that helped me lately thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
I too figured that out in my early 20's.
It works.

Try to talk to Jesus Crist. He can help you.

Well this made my 2021 a whole lot better with this music.
That's so lovely to know - thank you :-) Happy listening.
@@PastPerfectVintageMusic thanks and have a nice week and weekend.
@@PastPerfectVintageMusic Ahhhh, the music of my youth. Thanks for the memories 😄
@@InquisitorMatthewAshcraft Thanks for listening - and for supporting our independent label :-)
@@PastPerfectVintageMusic What really scares the youngsters, I think....is I'm pushing 80, and look 53, hehe. I remember this music far better than they give me credit for.
Love listening to it while playing Fallout 4 😂
Love listening to this music while tasking . *Work maintenance . "Stocking plumbing fittings and such " , Makes the day go faster because its filled with fun , even when thrown a curve ball 😊
Thanks for the 🎶 music!
These songs are truly the soul of a golden age, containing so many beautiful memories. 🌟
I had always loved the setting,music and styles of pre and post World War II America.
@@allenwalker1187 from time travel?:-))
When is your birthday ❤
Beautifull Time of prohibition and Time Black exotic Music
I Love this time
This music may not have been meant for teens like me with all this new music since I was born in 2009 but I can tell one thing, I am in love with jazz
This and much more was always playing at Grandpa's house or in his car. Always asking me if I could tell the difference of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, or the voice of Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby, or old blue eyes, or Danny Kaye, and so much more. Thank you for this it's all great memories for me.
awesome love it
Smashing music. Absolutely timeless.
Sunday morning breakfast and coffee music.
Thank you Past Perfect Vintage Music for preserving this timeless music. I'm in my 60s and I enjoy the big band era.
I'm in my 60's too Mark.....Let's dance!
I was 7 when the WW 11 ended and big band music was still popular. You had to be a real musician in those days. But along came guitar music and bands disappeared. Try sitting still listening to BENNY GOODMAN playing SING, SING, SING.
This is my favorite era of music. I love it. So fun and happy!
End of era. End of innocence
Big band era died in 1949. Our music has gone down since. So sad...it needs to be restored...
Best music ever made
Recuerdo de mí juventud gracias por gratos momentos tengo 83 years
I am born in 2003, but I love all these 30s-60s "REAL MUSIC"
I'm 18 and I love this kinds of music
Im 15 and this slaps

Yes!
Gotta be the best type of music humans have ever come up with - feeling you get from this isn’t matched by any other genre - I’ll never get bored of it
Lovely comments ... which I understand and agree with, completely ! Happy continued listening, many thanks.
WAY BEFORE MY TIME BUT I ALWAYS LOVED THIS MUSIC WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER I STARTED LIKING IT!!
Swing jazz at it’s best. Music that held me captive and glued to the wireless. With all it’s ups and downs and problems we remember them - as the good ol’ days -!
Nice nostalgic upload. Enjoy this trip thru memory-lane folks & Cheers!
I think a lot of us think we were born about 50 or 60 years too late.
I love, love love this music!
Makes my feet dance and
my heart sing out loud for joy
Great Music, great Bands!
Thank you so much🌺🌺🌺
Love those songs... I always dance with them lol!
Born @ 73 my boys love the big bands... One drives a stock ModelA the other a stock 55 and leans to doowop.
