The pinnacle of swing, where two great jazz figures met
A treasure trove of jazz vocals, featuring the powerful big band ensemble and the mature singing of a legendary chorus group throughout the album.
The rock-solid driving force of Count Basie's Orchestra and the elegant harmonies of the Mills Brothers vividly recreate the emotion of the golden age of swing. Dick Hyman's skillful arrangement firmly supports the music's brilliance with the powerful roar of the brass section and the soft vocal ensemble. Engineer Phil Ramone's recording captures the clear placement of each instrument, bringing timeless craftsmanship to life in every detail.
