It Might as Well Be Swing

by Frank Sinatra & Count Basie Orchestra

It Might as Well Be Swing cover art

Arranged by Quincy Jones, this collaboration pairs Sinatra's smooth vocal phrasing with the powerful brass section of Count Basie's orchestra. The recording incorporates a subtle string section to soften the driving, rhythmic swing of the big band, most notably on 'Fly Me to the Moon'.
