During the Swing era, there were jazz-oriented orchestras and there were the more pop-oriented ones. Occasionally, there was a big band that combined the best of both worlds, playing super-catchy dance tunes but with some dandy jazz soloing as well. Such a band was led by Erskine Hawkins, a fabulous high-note trumpet specialist. While they didn't have that many hits, his band was very popular with jazz and dance fans both, and the Dutton label's 2008 compilation, TUXEDO JUNCTION, with 24 tunes representing the Hawkins band's entire career, is a superb sample of their work.
