Polkas are an integral part of the American musical scene, beloved by young and old alike. The rollicking stamp-and-whirl, the toe-tapping, irresistible beat and the lively, peppery spirit of this dance have never lost their appeal. Today, polkas come in many different varieties... rousing rhythms stylized for particular combos, bands and orchestras. Topping the popularity list in this field is Walt Jaworski’s Polka Dance Band. Theirs is the modern sound... music that unites the traditional polka with the pop idiom, and for this special group of SESAC RECORDINGS, the instrumentation has been augmented to include the electric guitar, soprano sax and organ. By blending unusual sounds, Walt is constanty striving to invigorate his polka sessions both as an RCA-VICTOR recording artist and in radio, television and personal appearances throughout the country. Besides leading polka jamborees, he is also a prolific composer and expert trumpeter. These dynamic renditions are a field day for polka fans... bright, bouncy and bursting with a two-quarter time beat. For added spice, there are two ballads, a waltz and mazurka, which are further enhanced by the vibrant vocals of John Corvo, featued on four selections.
