This band is one of the top Swing Bands on the planet. And their songs, well they SWING and get you thinking and get you moving at the same time. I have seen them live and they are superb and a level of energy rarely seen on stage. They are on par with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and The Brian Seltzer Orchestra. Get it you will like it!

Another winner for the Jive Aces. This one is my favorite so far, though I haven't heard Recipe for Rhythm yet. I cannot more highly recommend this to everyone!

This c.d. gets more play time in our household than any other c.d. we own.

The music is very upbeat, happy and fun. We have literally played this c.d. over and over again, and it never fails to get the kids dancing around the living room.

Our kids have memorized several of the songs ("When You're Smilin'" and "Bolt from the Blue") and they are likely to start singing these at any time of the day -- walking down the street, driving in the car, on the phone with Grandma... it's very cute.

While the kids have eclectic musical tastes, from Madonna to Spin Doctors to Sesame Street tunes, this one is one that Mom and Dad are sure to enjoy as well -- and Grandma and Grandpa will, too.

Great music, fun music, easy to sing along to and dance to, and uplifting lyrics.

I can easily recommend this one.

Although I have issues with the band's affiliation with Scientology (like a couple of the other reviewers), I'd much rather judge this band on the basis of their music than on their personal beliefs. I saw them perform live at a swing dance, and liked their music enough to purchase their CD. They're one of the most upbeat and energetic swing bands I've ever heard, and it's great fun to dance to their music.
