TGIS Everyone... The Complete Gramercy Five Sessions -- Remastered CD Artie Shaw 1989 RCA/Bluebird Records Almost all the great big bands of the Swing Era had a small "band-within-the-band."

Their tunes languished in the haze of substandard remastering--until now, at least for the 24 tracks on Mothership and the final fullness of the new Song Remains the Same reissue.
