The music reissued on More Fabulous Ballroom was originally recorded by the Arthur Murray Orchestra in 1961 for use on dance instruction LPs, including 21 tracks that illustrate dance steps for the fox trot, waltz, cha cha, and pachanga. Though the reissue's liner notes give instructions for only one dance (the pachanga), the music is quite solid vocal-chorus orchestral pop. Retrophiles as well as dancers will enjoy it, with tracks like "The Song from Moulin Rouge," "Sentimental Journey," "Wunderbar," "Autumn Leaves," and many others. ~ Earl Simmons
Arthur Murray Orchestra includes: Mario Bauza, Ray Carter (conductor).
Digitally remastered by Marian A. Conaty.

$13.29 Back in Arthur Murray's heyday there was a major market for formal dance records, but today they are much fewer in number. Ballroom Blitz is a contemporary example -- a utilitarian collection of music for "social and competitive dancing," as the subtitle says, with information provided for each track regarding the dance style and number of beats per minute. The dances represented include the cha cha, rhumba, mambo, salsa, foxtrot, tango, merengue, hustle, waltz, East and West Coast swing, Carolina shag, and country two-step. The selections are mostly vocal recordings by obscure and unknown artists with a few exceptions: two songs are ...
| | Diane Schuur Collection CD (1989)
More Fabulous Ballroom music CDs
$8.25 Released in 1989, Collection sums up Diane Schuur's first five GRP albums, a period when she achieved a level of acclaim that tailed off somewhat in the '90s. What has been gathered together here is often very impressive, her rich, full voice keening over carefully wrought, beautifully recorded lush backdrops (with real or electronic strings), swinging over some fine big bands, or coming to terms with '80s jazz funksters. Strangely, there is only one selection from her live-in-the-studio collaboration Diane Schuur & the Count Basie Orchestra, which is the best overall album from this period (it features guitarist Freddie Green's last recorded performance) -- while the other albums (Deedles, Schuur Thing, Timeless, Talkin' 'Bout You) get multiple representation. ...
| | Patti Austin Love Is Gonna Getcha CD (1990)
More Fabulous Ballroom songs
$12.85 With apologies to Dianne Reeves, Patti Austin has always quite simply been the best jack-of-all-genre singers on the planet, crossing effortlessly from jazz to pop and R&B with a voice that's so sweet, rich, and lovely, it can't help but warm the heart. On the heels of her 1988 masterpiece The Real Me, her GRP debut packs a wallop of festive up tempo tunes, lite funk pop, torchy message songs, passionate ballads, and breezy tenderness -- all delivered with a truly Austin-tatious flair. Austin surrounds herself with some of pop jazz's best here, with GRP's 1990 roster well represented: Dave Grusin (whose production is flawless), Don Grusin (with whom she co-wrote the happy "Ooh Wee (The Carnival)"), Deborah Henson-Conant (whose harp adds punch to "In My Dreams"), Lee Ritenour, and Nelson Rangell (whose alto soars on the title cut). But as tantalizing as the music is, it is Austin who gives the collection wings with a powerful voice whose mood she so artfully modulates depending on the feel of the individual tune. Soft and tender on her own composition "In My Life," easy and lilting for "In My Dreams," and full of genuine excitement for "Through the Test of Time" and "Ooh Wee." An added bonus is the Oscar nominated "The Girl Who Used to Be Me," which gives Austin a chance to show her range, even if the tune is a bit schmaltzy. ~ Jonathan Widran
Recorded at Sunset Sound Studios, Hollywood, California from November 14-17, 1992.
Personnel: Patti Austin (vocals, background vocals); Lee Ritenour , Michael Landau (guitar); Deborah Henson-Conant (harp); Barry Finclair, Gerald Tarack, Marti Sweet, Louann Montesi, Arnold Eidus, John Pintavalle, Elena ...
