Waldeck´s Gramophone Vol.1 "Swing & Champagne" is the first compilation to appear on Dope Noir and it is Dope Noir´s 25th release. It comes right in time for this years ballroom season and will certainly be there for many more to come.
Like Waldeck´s current longplayer "Ballroom Stories" this selection dwells on both shellack sounds and modern electronic sounds "Jazz a la Gitane meets 21st century"!
"Musically the challenge was to combine recordings of nearly a century and still have a seamless listening pleasure" says Waldeck. As for all other releases on Dope Noir Recordings a second standard has to be met: "My idea of a good music is simple and straight forward: While listening you should be able to (a) enjoy a good meal, (b) have sex and/or a glass of champagne or two (c) drive in an expensive convertible car (d) go dancing or (e) simply iron a shirt or (f) prepare a meal for your kids."

It comes as no surprise that this compilation will stand the test. You want names: Django Reinhardt, Pink Martini, Cesaria Evora, Analogik, God Rusic, Kormac, Svenska Hotkvintetten, Waldeck (of course) and many more.
