Swing is where you find it. And you’ll find it amid every track on this sensational compilation, right from Louis Jordan’s bootin’Choo Choo Ch’Boogie to Bobby Darin’s swingin’ take on MackThe Knife and La Mer, releases that turned him from a pop idol into a challenger for Sinatra’s crown overnight. Sinatra himself is represented here by Let’s Face The Music And Dance, a track from his first album for Reprise. Fellow Rat Packer Sammy Davis Jr is also depicted in R&B mode with covers of Ray Charles hits, while Dean Martin provides samples of his more relaxed approach to swing.
