2 LPs on 1 CD: BIG BAND PLAYS THE BIG HITS VOL. 1 (1961)/BIG BAND PLAYS THE BIG HITS VOL. 2 (1962). Originally released on Columbia. Included on this Collectables reissue are two early-'50s LPs from Si Zentner & His Orchestra: Big Band Plays the Big Hits, Vol. 1 and Up a Lazy River (Big Band Plays the Big Hits, Vol. 2). Trombone player Zentner and his band lightly swing their way through two-dozen hits that would've worked during the big band era, with a warm sound but slightly tepid arrangements. The novelty of hearing orchestral versions of these songs -- "Perfidia," "Honky Tonk," "Apache," "Walk -- Don't Run," and Dee Clark's "Raindrops" -- doesn't last very long, though a few of them work, like a twist version of "Nice 'N' Easy" or "Yellow Bird." ~ John Bush
