From the liner notes...

On September 28th, 1950, the Airmen of Note was
formed to carry on the musical style and tradition
of Major Glenn Miller's Army Air Forces Orchestra.
This proved to be a significant challenge. At that
time, military bands were widely regarded as
marching and concert ensembles; jazz and dance
music were not as readily associated with military
music programs. Upon its inception, the Airmen of
Note was known throughout the world as "The
Official Dance Band of the United States Air Force."
Fifty years later, it gives us great pleasure to
present this album, titled Let's Dance, as a tribute
to swing music, its heritage and its significance.

With this recording, which reflects the recent
resurgence of swing music and dance, the Note
has, in a way, returned to its original roots. We
hope that this music will give you great enjoyment,
evoke fond memories and get you up on the dance
floor with your partner. In other words... Let's Dance!
