This review is from: Dancing on a Blue Moon (Audio CD)

As the album cover suggests, this CD swings with the motion of the days of the Savoy Ballroom. When great bands and great dancers combined into a synergy that has rarely, if ever, been reproduced. The Swing Legacy is as its name suggests, a continuum of the legacies of such greats as Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Count Basie, and Louis Jorden. The Swing Legacy shows us how real jazz and blues based dance music should be played. This six piece band goes far beyond the number of players. Intricate arranging, talent "multi-tasking" musicians, soulful vocals, and a contagious passion and energy makes this "small" band as much a big band as one is likely to hear these days. I got the great pleasure of seeing The Swing Legacy in an intimate setting, and I must admit that my desire to jump up and dance was just as great as when our fair city was graced by the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra in the not so distant past. This CD belongs in any collection. Listen, move, groove, dance.
