Dan Newton’s Cafe Accordion Orchestra

Dancing on the Moon features vocals by Diane Jarvi. The music combines Latin, French and Gypsy musical traditions with American Swing.

If you recognize the title of the historic Max Fleischer cartoon from which this album’s title was taken, you’ll understand the charm and joy of Cafe Accordion Orchestra – an “old-school” combo that plays from the heart.

“With a somewhat unconventional approach to the craft, and the honest talent to make it all work, CAO proves that bringing back the past doesn’t have to be done in an over-exposed, commercial way. Forget all those hip new swing bands with their zoot suits and martinis; CAO is the real deal.” –The Minnesota Daily
