5 out of 5 stars Excelente.......2004-07-16

Aquí en México, es poca la población que sabemos apreciar y diferenciar un disco grado audiófilo como éste. Excelente timbre, balance, claridad y cuerpo en las voces y, en general en toda la instrumentación. Quien no sepa de audio fino, no escuche este excelente disco.

Saludos desde toluca, México

1 out of 5 stars think twice.......2004-05-20

This one just doesn't do it for me at all. Actually, its a bit painful to listen to on some of the cuts. Make sure you preview all the tracks before buying this one.

If its a compilation that you want, try instead Oscillatin Rhythm (Capitol) or Hipster, Zoots, & Wingtips Vol 3 (Hip-O). While some may consider the second to have a cheesy title, it is not reflective of the content. Both are first rate swing compilations, with the first being recordings done during the 50s by the original swing artists, and the second mostly by modern retro swing bands.

5 out of 5 stars Must have for Swing lovers.......2002-08-24

I'm sure it seems strange that stars like Susan Summers, Sheena Easton, and Hal Linden sing covers on this cd but I have to tell you this CD is great!
