Album Notes & Community Reviews
Operating at the absolute peak of the big band era, the renowned clarinettist and saxophonist leads his polished ensemble through a meticulously arranged set. The album title reflects the group's highly successful formula of alternating robust, up-tempo instrumental swing with smooth, romantic vocal ballads. It is a defining example of the highly versatile, crowd-pleasing aesthetic required for top-tier dance bands.
