Dance music before the Big Band era.......2007-01-14

ORIGINAL DANCE MUSIC OF THE 1920's & 1930's has quite a few perennial favorites on it, like: "I Wanna Be Loved By You," "Happy Days Are Here Again," "I Found A Million Dollar Baby," "Broadway Melody," "Who's Your Little Who Zis," "You're THe Cream In My Coffee" and "Who's Sorry Now?"

Unlike the swing orchestras of a decade later that had distinguishable styles, there was a certain homogeneity to Roaring '20s hot dance bands, and that is apparent from these 24 sides. Many of the musicians who appear in these older recordings later worked for the most famous 1940s big bands. One example is Benny Goodman, barely out of his teens, who is among the ensemble playing "I Found A Million Dollar Baby." Undoubtedly, Glenn Miller and the Dorseys are here, as well.

Liner notes are insufficient. The album's back cover lists titles and recording dates only. ORIGINAL DANCE MUSIC should please any fan of pre-big band tunes willing to overlook lack of details and some source material in less-than-pristine condition.

Original Dance Music of 1920's & 1930's.......2006-07-29

Bought as a gift. A couple of pieces I listened to were intertaining.

Excellent twenties compilation.......2005-02-15

You get plenty of bang for your buck with this collection. Try some of the sound samples on this site and you will find out how enjoyable this album is. I found the audio restoration to be quite good.

Very good collection of this era.......2004-07-20

I have quite a lot of music from this era, but this one is a must. So many good songs from long forgotten times, but so near, if you just push play!
Enjoy!

Great music but alot of surface noise.......2003-12-24

The Ted Weems Orchestra has heavy representation on this CD. His songs sound as if they were recorded off a radio - too much tinny cymbals, speaker vibrations and hisses. Can't modern technology eliminate the noise? The songs are great. I love #18 - "Girl of My Dreams" recorded by the Blue Steel Orchestra. It is incredibly poignant and beautiful. Overall 5 stars for the songs, but 3 stars for reproduction.
