Derrick Bostrom, a Meat Puppet member and the producer of the jewel-like "Your Favorite Little Podcast" program, points to this download of a terrific out-of-print LP by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, called Do You Wanna Dance? from 1966.
Wedding the Miller big band style and DeFranco's top-notch soloing to go-go dance rhythms, lush easy-listening atmospherics and Command's trademark high-tech aural experience, the album is no mere nostalgia trip for aging jitterbuggers. Rock fans will delight as this august organization tackles such teenage hits as "Cinnamon," "Sunny," "For Once In My Life" and "Love Child." Naturally, the ubiquitous McCartney-Lennon catalog is represented, not once but twice, with "Hey Jude" and "A Little Help From My Friends." In fact, there's not a MOR track anywhere to be found on this album – it's all strictly Top Forty. Do YOU wanna dance?
