A Time Machine!	October 4, 2023
Reviewer: Russ Gifford from South Sioux City, NE United States

Exceptional quality. You feel like you are in the audience at the Cocoanut Grove! Sharing these with a 95-year-old friend and he is transported back to his childhood, singing along with the hits! Thank you!!

Outstanding!	September 22, 2023
Reviewer: Don Casali from Framingham, MA

Just began listening to this collection this morning and I am captivated by it! Sound quality is just great. Closest thing to a time machine we're likely to experience - you'll wish you could throw on your tux and head over to the Grove.

Great music cds	May 20, 2022
Reviewer: Cheryl Farnell from Tampa, FL United States

I'm a big Gus Arnheim fan, so I was very excited to hear these radio shows. The cds are great; I'm listening to one or two shows every day. Thank you so much!

	May 20, 2022
Reviewer: Robert Towers from VENICE, CA United States

It's more than Nostalgia. It is a veritable time machine, where for a few hours, you may enter these clubs, or be home listening to the radio. The sound is so clear, that the music could have been recorded yesterday. More, please!

Reviewer: Blaise Pierovich

Oh, this music is so good - I love this music! The glorious 30's - if only I could have been there to experience it firsthand!

Hard to Believe	May 20, 2022
Reviewer: Bob Blume

My previous order arrived today on Monday. I ordered on Saturday. That's a two day delivery time, which might be a new standard for speedy service. I'm listening to the first Gun Arnheim disc now from the Cocoanut Grove Ambassadors Premier Collection. Hard to believe these are from the early 30's. The sound quality is unbelievable.

The Granddaughter of Abe Frank	May 20, 2022
Reviewer: Carlyn Frank Benjamin

I am the granddaughter of Abe Frank, who managed the Ambassador Hotel in the time of the big bands. As a child growing up in the hotel, I knew personally many of the artists mentioned on the CD. I can't wait to play all the music that I remember listening to at the Grove, from the time I was too young to be there in the evening but would slip into the room during the afternoon after school during rehearsals; even later, when I was old enough to date, going dancing at the Grove - even if it meant only walking across the lawn from our bungalow - was so special. Gus, Ted, Phil, and all the others who came along to grace the bandstand - Hal Kemp, Eddy Duchin, Guy Lombardo, Shep Fields, Ozzie Nelson, to name a few - played that great dance music with lyrics I still remember decades later. I am going to put the Arnheim CD on for our dinner music and expect to be up late tonight for a nostalgic evening. A great way to spend a night of what is expected to be a heavy rain and thunderstorm.
