Review by Anita Woods

The Mayfair Dance Orchestra's latest album, Knicker Knocker Knack Somebody, is a delightful collection of 1920s and 1930s jazz and swing tunes that will transport listeners back to the golden age of dance music. From the lively rhythms of "The Charleston" to the romantic balladry of "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," this album has something for everyone.

The musicianship on this album is top-notch, with tight arrangements and skilled solos that showcase the talents of each member of the orchestra. The vocals are also a highlight, with the charming and charismatic lead singer bringing each song to life with their expressive delivery.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Makin' Whoopee," which features a playful and humorous vocal performance that perfectly captures the song's cheeky lyrics. Another highlight is the instrumental number "Sweet Georgia Brown," which showcases the orchestra's impressive improvisational skills.
