"This may take you down memory lane, but I enjoy listening to the big bands. I loved Glenn Miller and the others, but Les Elgart has a big band style of his own. As a young kid, I played in the school band myself. I purchased most of his albums in the late 1950s and early 1960s. When I saw the Elgart CDs offered on Amazon, I purchased four of my favorite Elgart CDs of his past music albums. It's amazing how much better CD music is to the old albums and his music is no exception.



Most of you will recognize one of Les Elgart's popular songs played on Dick Clark's old bandstand TV show called "Bandstand Boogie."



Bottom line is if you like big bands, try Les Elgart!"

"The Elgart sound is identifiably unique. The album, Designs for Dancing, which I also own in vinyl, contains a mix of some really great sounding arrangements and instrumentation. This is certainly worth adding to your collection."
