This album is a collection arranged not particularly on individual artists who have released some unforgettable songs in that time, but rather to the Big Bands and Orchestras that we felt could better portray a truer feeling of the war years. Through the spirit of that brisk melodies and jazz-swing grooves, these songs will never go out of fashion and need to be listened from the historical wartime perspective. This collection has been curated aiming to be listened to as if you would stroll inside a museum or gallery exhibition. A return to the good old times and good music not to be missed!
