Music reviews of Let's Dance : The Best Of Ballroom Swing, Lindy, Jitterbug & Jive
Music Review: A useful collection for dance DJs and party hosts / hostesses
Rating: 4 Stars
4 stars
This is a fine collection of vocal music for various kinds of swing dancing. All 16 tracks have been digitally remastered and they are reasonably clean of noise, pop, hiss, etc. I can't say I love every track, but it is a useful collection for dance DJs and party hosts / hostesses.
The first eight tracks are listed under "swing." They are slow-between 29-31 measures per minute. Single rhythm swing would not be much fun to these, but they are great for triple rhythm swing. If you are adventersome, and this is not a stretch if you love it, dance West Coast swing and slink up the hall!
Tracks 9-11 range betweem 33-37 mpm, and they are fun if your knees will let you dance Lindy-hop to them.
Tracks 12-16 are listed as jitterbug or jive and range from 38-54 mpm.
Here are the titles, durations, suggested dance, measures per minute, and artist:
