Then combine it with the soulful motown sound of groups like the Commodores, complete with a Lionel Richie-like lead singer. The band used to be called Millennium Swing, but after the recent swing craze caught on, the band members changed the name. The change was a good decision because the band has much more to do with smooth and mellow jazz than swing jazz. And that's not all. The first song has little to do with the classic Arthur Miller play of the same name except for the very first line.
Sports fans listen up.
The song also mentions fellow Negro League players Josh Gibson and Satchel Page. It will be a real treat to listen to for anybody who has a sense of baseball history. The bottom line is that this is really good stuff, a mature-sounding album which is indeed ready for radio airplay. That may keep this album from being truly great, but a very solid effort nonetheless. Brian Setzer, eat your heart out.
