5.0 out of 5 stars "Fun music from the breezy '20's", June 9, 2008

"The Charleston Days" transports the listener right back to the breezy 1920's.

I listened to this entire cd while reading one of my many books of the Roaring Twenties. (I'm presently reading "The Lawless Decade" by Paul Sann). The music was fun to listen to - both the vocals and the jazz orchestras. To particular tracks I envisioned seeing couples dancing together; and flappers going for breezy rides in their roadsters to tunes, particularly "Let's All Go To Mary's House", and "After I Say I'm Sorry". I'm glad I purchased this for my Roaring Twenties cd library!

This review is from: Charleston Days / Great British Hits (Audio CD)

A search for "Savoy Orpheans" yielded "The Charleston Days" title. While it may be a fine CD for fans of Charleston era dance music, it is NOT the Savoy Orpheans. Savoy Orpheans play just three tunes on this CD; the rest are played by other bands. This may not bother some folks, but the person for whom I purchased the CD was greatly disappointed. I can not comment on the quality of the bands, but only advise would-be buyers of the misleading search results.
