Tightly packed with rhumbas, mambos, sambas, and meringues, this chapter in Harlequin's amazing
Xavier Cugat series is wall-to-wall live radio broadcasts, featuring conventional gringo announcers and lots of feisty introductions by
Cugie himself. This band comes across better than ever when heard performing in front of the public at the Roseland and Statler-Hilton hotels. There is a spirit of mischief in the air that simply doesn't show up in most of
Cugat's studio recordings. Excellent entertainment -- a must for collectors and highly recommended for those who have just discovered
Xavier Cugat.
