Золотой век британских танцевальных коллективов, более спокойный родственник американского свинга, охватывал период с 1927 по 1939 год.
В то время в большинстве лучших отелей и ресторанов выступал танцевальный коллектив под управлением одного из великих бэнд-лидеров той эпохи.
AVID Entertainment отдает дань уважения эпохе UK Dance Band в своей серии Essential Collection, в которой представлены все легендарные лидеры того времени, от Эмброуза, Лью Стоуна, Рэя Фокса и Джеральдо до Джека Пейна и Генри Холла из BBC.
У многих из этих великих людей даже были собственные регулярные радиопередачи, которые еженедельно транслировались для миллионов слушателей.
Начало Второй мировой войны положило конец этому золотому периоду, но музыка, конечно же, живет в ритмах этого прекрасного двойного компакт-диска от AVID!
