"If you like Sinatra's early swing albums on Capital Records like Come Fly With Me and Songs For Swinging Lovers, then you will enjoy this album by one of Sinatra's best know swing arrangers. It's like Sinatra karaoke, with all the sound of a Sinatra record minus the Sinatra attitude and voice. I highly recommend this CD!"
Yes, Billy may

"Here are all the Capitol recordings Billy May made with his big band before he gave it up and returned to arranging full time. Billy would release more adventurous records in later years, but this is where his famed "slurping saxes" sound began. Beautifully assembled and a swinging joy to behold. Billy May will always be one of my favorite musicians."
Mono CD with great sound

"For a mono CD this is a great clear and clean re-master. The compilation of the various songs is wonderful, some that I have never heard of before. Of course Billy May is one of my favorite bands of the early 50's as those were my teenage years. Great band and a great recording studio."
