Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The Best of rhe Lester Lanin Orchestras and Bands.......2006-08-11

This CD is a classic in the "society Dance Music" genre. The dance steps most often suitable for this music are the Fox Trot and the "Two Step." Lester plays Latin music and the Viennese waltz as well as music from the great musical show s from the "Great White Way" - Broadway in New York City.

This may seem like a passing fancy of a previous era but it persists and when dancers of all ages hear the music they simply "Want to Dance." These are real "toe-tappers."

5 out of 5 stars Some of my favorite dance music.......1999-09-15

This album has some of my favorite music to dance to. However, there are some unusual songs, like a Hula - I give it a 5 because of in spite this, because there are plenty of good foxtrots, quicksteps, waltzes, and cha-chas. If Ever I Would Leave you is an excellent fast rhumba.
