There are many swing bands in the world today. But if you don't listen to Geroge Gee's JJW, you are missing one of the best swing bands. Although the band's activities are based on NYC basically, they played in Tokyo too a couple of years ago which was so exciting. This CD is powerful enough to enjoy George's band.

George Gee has a Midas touch when it comes to putting together swing bands. There isn't a bad song or CD that he has ever put out. Just buy it!

I have seen George and his band live and they were pretty darn entertaining, energetic, and danceable. However, this CD is none of these things. I have listened to Buddha Boogie once, but I don't think I will ever listen to it again. It's unmelodic, rambling and pointless and as a lindy hopper I was very disappointed by it. I can' get my money back on this stinker, but if I can dissuade some people from buying Buddha Boogie, maybe George will get the message and stop abusing his fans in this way.

First off..this is not an lp by the Wailers, the Jamaican band who backed Bob Marley (and what it is doing listed under the Wailers is byond me) so if you are looking for those Wailers, look elsewhere.

But if you are looking for good time nouveau swing music, then this collection is must for you.

Very strong effort.

I have seen George and his band live before and they were pretty darn good, danceable and high energy. However, this CD is none of those things. I listened to it once. None of the songs are catchy, but rather are unmelodious, meandering garbage. I can't get my money back on this CD which I will never listen to again, but if I can dissuade even one person from buying this worthless slice of plastic, maybe George and his band will stop abusing his fans by putting out such unlistenable music.
