The "Golden Age of Polkas" was a post-war phenomenon which ran from the mid-1940s, through the late 1960s, when the music reached it's highest levels of quality and sophistication. It is this period that gave birth to the most famous of all the polka bands.
In recent years the polka musicians, themselves, have acquired a stature of their own through their high levels of proficiency. Former polka band musicians have found positions in many world-recognized musical institutions such as the Boston Symphony, The Boston Pops, the Springfield Symphony, and many others.
The magic of the polka remains strong today and is evidenced in it's present popularity. It has survived many changes in the styles and tastes and continues to deliver a strong and positive message of joy and happiness in contrast to the often negative culture of today.
This CD, "25 Polka Greats", is a wonderful compilation of that golden period, showcasing hits from Happy Louie, Walt Solek, Johnny Menko, Larry Chesky, Al Soyka, Jimmy Sturr and many others. A great addition to your music collection.
