Description by OLDIES.com:
"Frankie Masters was one of the most amiable of all big band leaders," said jazz critic George T. Simon. "And his music was the most danceable." That it was - through nearly a dozen hits in the 1930s and '40s. A handsome man, good guitarist, fine singer and excellent front man, Frankie Masters knew how to play the perfect host. The selection in this collection were all recorded in New York City between 1939 and 1942 - at the height of his career.

Although little remembered today, Frankie Masters had a dozen or so big-band swing hits in the 1930s and 1940s. This compilation from Collectables Records covers his peak years, 1939 to 1942, and features all his notable tracks, including "Scatter-Brain (Theme Song)," which reached number one on the charts in 1939, as well as "All the Things You Are," "Alice Blue Gown," and "A Lover's Lullaby." With little else on the market, luckily this collection has most of what you'll need. ~ Steve Leggett
