The music presented in this wide ranging compilation comes from a more innocent age than ours,a time in the middle years of the 20th Century when social dancing was a world-wide phenomenon and people craved the excitement afforded by the live presence of a big band. Everyone wanted toe-tapping music so that they could 'cut a rug' on the dance floor and a host of fine touring orchestras fed this apparently insatiable demand, fueling a fashion which took several decades to decline and fall.
