Our Take

Wayne King's orchestra has been swinging since 1930, and this latest collection of hits from the '30s and '40s is a delightful trip down memory lane.

With his signature style of elegant, sophisticated orchestration, King effortlessly transports listeners back to a bygone era of ballroom dance halls and romantic evenings under the stars.

Tracks like "The Waltz You Saved For Me" and "The Waltz You Saved For Me" are like a warm hug from a nostalgic past, while uptempo tunes like "Goody Goody" and "You're Breaking My Heart" will have you tapping your feet and shimmying along in no time.

The quality of the orchestration shines through on each track, with lush strings, bright brass, and smooth woodwinds all coming together in perfect harmony.

Although some may dismiss this collection as nothing more than sentimental schmaltz, there's a timeless charm to King's music that simply cannot be ignored.

So grab your dancing shoes, pour yourself a stiff drink, and get ready to be whisked away to a simpler, more elegant time with The Wayne King Collection 1930-41. You may just find yourself falling in love with the golden age of swing all over again.
