Following the runaway success of AVID’s earlier release Ballroom Dancing: The Essential Collection (AVC 896) and a flood of emails demanding we give him his own CD, we are pleased to present an entire double CD devoted to the greatest British band leader of the 20th century…Joshua Alexander Loss, better known as just plain Joe Loss!
We begin our story way back in 1933 with a side from his very first recording session titled Happy Endings which includes Joe’s first signature tune “Let’s Dance At The Make Believe Ballroom.”
Here we feature Joe performing with top vocalists of the day Monte Ray and Chick Henderson as well as his fine instrumental work like Woodchoppers Ball, Oasis and Southern Fried.
As we discovered with the “Ballroom Dancing” CD Joe became synonymous with strict tempo dance records and CD2 is rightly made up of these sides recorded between 1949 and 1956.
Joe continued performing for nearly sixty years before sadly passing away in 1990 at the age of 80 the same year that he gave up the baton!
