Review

The musical trends of 1948 included the continuing transition from big bands to individual singers, as well as the increasing popularity of lighthearted novelties, often set to arrangements based on diverse musical genres. This excellent compilation, which presents, among its 24 selections, 19 of the year's biggest hits in their most popular recordings, illustrates those trends....
