Don't be fooled by the word lindy hop in the title of this CD. Whoever titled this CD is obviously confusing lindy hop with some other form of swing dance. All of this music is good jazz, but not for dancing the lindy. If you're looking for a CD to get yourself familiar with lindy hop music, with different bands or just to start your collection there's a ton of way better stuff on amazon. Search for 20's and 30's compilations or pick up some Count Basie cds from the 1930's.

As the name implies, "for dancers only" is a great album for those who love to lindy hop, swing dance, jitterbug, or just feel the groove. For those in the lindy hop scene, many of the songs will be old favorites, and others will be fresh additions to your music collection. Trust me, you want these versions of "for dancers only" and "everyday I have the blues."

This is particularly a good CD to get for someone new to swing dancing who would like music to practice to, since the songs were edited to be "dancer friendly." They even include the beats per minute of each song, which is very helpful when you are just starting out.

And for those who prefer to just listen, the musicianship on the album is TIGHT. I mean its got Jay McShann, Clark Terry, Junior Mance, Al Grey and more. Too many "swing dance compilations" feature the same songs and artists over and over. I love Duke, Cab, Louis, Ella, etc, but the music didn't stop in 1949. No wonder people think swing is dead.

This album proves that swing is alive and ready to throw down.
