Four Stars for The Instruments of the Dance Orchestra
Jean | Fremont, CA United States | 02/28/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This disc, (actualy, the Instruments of the Dance Orchestra part), is truly a guilty pleasure. Anyone who is familiar with, and loves so-called Big Band music, or Swing music, or Jazz music, or whatever you want to call it, probably already knows much of the information that the great Ted Heath describes on this album, but I have never heard it done so elegantly.



For someone out there who may be on the verge of becoming interested in this type of music, grab this disc, if for no other reason, for the tunes that are used to describe each of the instruments in each of the sections, and for the pleasure of listening to the absolute top-notch musicians who made up that great band. Who knows, after this album, you might want to go out and grab some more of this great music.



Even though some of the "effects" instruments described later in the album now sound a little hokey (dated), you won't be dissapointed by the "riff tune" used for the finale. It is truly exciting, and worth the price of the whole disc.



For those of you who are familiar with this great music, think of this album as a refresher course on the music you love, and grab this guilty pleasure for yourself."
