Lew Soloff is featured often and Lew Soloff can do whatever he wants; he sounds good before breakfast....an excellent introduction to the swing era for 30-something hi-fi buffs....innocent fun..." JazzTimes (2/96, p.79) - "...this reiteration of standard big band hits is performed with all the professionalism one would expect....playback on home theater equipment will no doubt reveal dimensions of stereo sound impossible to appreciate fully on set-ups employing only dual speakers..."
