Greg Poppleton "captures the essence of the swing years with uncanny accuracy. 5 Stars"
John Gilbert - eJazzNews.com (US)
"The music literally pulls you into yesteryear...You will be listening to this disc for years to come!"
Gerard H Beulah - JazzReview.com (US)
"Yes, some people were born out of their time and the delightful Greg Poppleton is one of them. 3.5 stars out of 4"
Chris Peken - City News, (Sydney Australia)
"This album (The Phantom Dancer) is not only about the aural experience. There is tremendous benefit in the CD jacket. It reads like a history of some of the biggest hits and most prominent composers of the early swing era. It also features unique period pictures and original artwork in the commercial style popular in the 1920s and 30s. These materials could almost be published as a book without the recording, and are a testament to Greg Poppleton's hard work on research and his strength as a producer. For swing enthusiasts the trivia alone is worth the sticker price, never mind all of the nice music"
Donny Harvey - MuzikReviews.com (US)
"The musicians are incredible and their presentation is flawless"
