From the back cover: "Dance Along Piccadilly" to the exciting rhythms of Maestro Jack Hansen and his Orchestra – all recorded especially for this album with a very great deal of love mixed in for the frosting!

Maestro Hansen has been playing for dance competitions and dance events all across the United States for many years. He and his orchestra have played for all the United States National Ballroom Championships since their inception.

One of the biggest thrills of Jack Hansen's life occurred in March, 1973, when he and his orchestra were chosen to play for the Dance News Royal Manhattan Festival in New York City. He played the music for the entire Festival which included all the Modern and Latin Competitions and the World Amateur Latin Formation Championship. This was the very first time any orchestra in the United States had played for Formation Championships. His versatile music was an outstanding success which is quite a tribute to Jack Hansen's complete understanding of the needs of the dancer.
