5.0 out of 5 stars SWING & SWAY WITH MICKEY K! Oy vey!, November 15, 1998

Well....You either love this music or you don't. If you love it, it is because of some combination of Jewish ethnicity and the enjoyment of fast, rhythmic music loaded with clarinets, fiddles, horns, and drums. You need never have gone to a Bar Mitzvah, a bris, or a Jewish wedding to get turned on by such gems as "Wedding Dance" or "Wedding Samba." Sure , this CD gets a little too schmaltzy at times, but--Be a mensch and buy it already!

I heard Mickey Katz regularly when he had a radio program in the early 1950's. This album is a wonderful example of the exciting music that he played. I highly recommend it!

What a wonderful cd. If you are Jewish, you can feel your heritage. The warmth of the music and the fun is just wonderful. Even if you don't understand Yiddish, you can understand it by the feel of the music. I wish Capitol Records would release all of his albums on cd. What a treasure that would be.
