Just in from Casa Musica a couple of CDs one Latin and one Modern
,Starting with modern CD The best of Ballroom No 18 part 8 Cat No
CM-CD-022. As with most of the Casa Musica Cds they are made up of
compilations of orchestras and singers.
I have selected a few tracks from this CD (20 tracks in all). From the
SEVEN Waltzes, my favourites are "Theme From Payton Place" (Cyril
Stapleton Orch) together with a nice social waltz sung by Max Bygraves
"My Cup Runneth Over". I also found a very strange waltz called
,,,,,,WAIT FOR IT ""Qi Shi Ni Bu Dong Wo De Zin" sung by a lady called
Wang Meiui.... HMMMMMMMM what a mouthful. Both the Tangos are very good
"Luna Sobre Los Andes" and "La Gargantilla". If you are looking for a
nice social foxtrot to end the evening "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To"
will be ideal.. another foxtrot on this CD would be useful for teachung
or social rhythmn "BOOM" sung by Andy Williams... (It's one of those
bouncy tempos) To end my review on this CD with a couple of first class
Quicksteps "At The Jazz Band Ball" (Victor Silvester) and "Thoughly Modern
Millie" (C Stapleton)
