Product Description

Album Description
When it comes to the musical accompaniment to ballroom dancing who better to lead the way than the featured artist in AVID's latest addition to the Essential Collection series. A world Ballroom Dancing champion himself in 1928, Victor Silvester decided to form his own orchestra in 1935 to supply strict tempo dance records to satisfy the ever increasing demand of the latest dance phenomena, Ballroom or Strict Tempo Dancing. Alongside another stalwart of the British music scene in the 1930's and 40's and musical mainstay of the legendary TV series Come Dancing, Joe Loss, these two make up the majority of the tracks on this wonderful and atmospheric double CD. (you can almost see the sequins, smell the make up and hear the sound of leather on dancefloor)! Equally great to dance to or to listen to, step up or settle down to enjoy 54 foot tapping Ballroom dance classics.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Galaxy of Star Ballroom Orchestras, 13 Jun 2007
By B. McCanna "Barry McCanna" (Normandy, France) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
One of television's beneficial side-effects is to generate audience participation outside the box, not least in the field of ballroom dancing. On the heels of this resurgence has come the demand for suitable music, and the latest CD label to take the floor is Avid, with this quite splendid panorama of terpsichorean temptation. It covers almost every ballroom form, and a wide range of compositions and styles, but all focussed on the primary requirement for a strict tempo.

Although aimed specifically at aspiring hoofers and their teachers, this compilation should have a wider appeal. The ballroom orchestras aimed for purity of tone, and this is particularly noticeable on the tracks by Maxwell Stewart's Ballroom Orchestra, where the golden sound of Freddy Gardner's saxophone can be heard clearly. One of the stand-out numbers for me is "The Elephant's Tango" on which Harry Gold perambulates most enjoyably. The five jive sides, two by Josephine Bradley and three by Victor Silvester, inject an occasional note of freneticism into the proceedings. Great value for money, and highly recommended.

This is very good if you are learning to dance and if you have a nostalgia for the old greats, very atmospheric
