Album Notes & Community Reviews
Celebrating his enduring legacy, this collection features the iconic crooner revisiting classic standards with his signature effortless, unhurried warmth. Backed by the subtle, deeply swinging accompaniment of the Buddy Cole Quartet, 'Some Fine Old Chestnuts' highlights Bing Crosby's impeccable phrasing and conversational intimacy. The stripped-down setting provides a refreshing contrast to the heavily orchestrated pop recordings of the era.
