The album begins with heavy, slightly sombre brass instruments, but an exhilarating lightness quickly sets in, which ultimately characterizes all twelve titles of "Moon Ray". Even Ella Fitzgerald's catchy tune "A Tisket A Tasket" prances lightly through the auditory canal and makes the dancing leg twitch. But Choo Choo Panini also see themselves as a dance band from the golden era of swing. So it's handy that the Beats Per Minute is given after each song on this recording. Nat King Cole's "Straighten Up And Fly Right" delivers the finest head-nodding swing, as does "Call The Police" penned by the same composer. The more or less popular jazz classics that Choo Choo Panini picked out here and immortalized on this disc with the support of LindyPott, the Lindy Hop community in the Ruhr area, all put you in a good mood.
