"This 2 CD set from Zyx is a great value! Every track rates at least four stars. This is a great set for both listening and dancing. The tempos are appropriate for the dance suggested below. Most of these are instrumental only. Those with vocals are not done by the original artists, and some will find this a minus. All of this makes me want to dance!
The liner does not identify the dance band. However, several of these titles are copy-righted to the Karl Schmidt Big Band (KSBB), and many tracks sound identical to tracks on other KSBB albums. It is only a guess, but it seems that the producers at Zyx collected tracks from the KSBB for this double album. Perhaps someone who now more than I can confirm this via a comment or additional review?
