Bob Crosby - Dance Date

Review by Usman Rafi

Dance Date, the album by Bob Crosby, is a delightful compilation of swing and jazz tunes that will make you want to get up and dance. Released in 1958, the album features ten tracks that showcase Crosby's skills as a bandleader and arranger.

The album opens with the upbeat "March of the Bob Cats," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other standout tracks include "South Rampart Street Parade," "Big Noise from Winnetka," and "Midnight in Moscow," which all feature energetic rhythms and catchy melodies.

Crosby's band, the Bob Cats, is composed of talented musicians who each bring their own unique style to the music. The arrangements are tight and well-executed, and the solos are impressive without being showy.
