Reviews are in…!

June 8, 2009 by Melissa

I was recently tweeted by a fan of The Fabulous Esquires who had ordered our CD “Full Swing Ahead!” from CDbaby.com and he raved about the music, the authenticity of the sound, and the fantastic choice and variety of tunes.  I was delighted to have a stranger take time to send such lovely accolades, and it had me curious to see if anyone posted comments on CD Baby – did they ever!!!

reviewsHow wonderful to be a part of this musical legacy!!  From band members, past & present, to the dancers and patrons who have enjoyed the Esquires throughout the years, we are all a part of the history of The Esquires.

Thanks to everyone for supporting live (and recorded!) big band music!
