Pro Reviews: It Might as Well Be Swing
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Frank Sinatra and Count Basie's second collaboration, It Might As Well Be Swing, was a more structured, swingoriented set than SinatraBasie, and in many ways the superior album. The album consists of recently written songs, arranged as if they were swing numbers. The results work splendidly, not just because arranger/conductor Quincy Jones found the core of each of the songs, but because Basie and his band were flexible. Adding a string section to their core band, Basie plays a more standard swing than he did on SinatraBasie, but that doesn't mean It Might As Well Be Swing is devoid of jazz. Both Basie and Sinatra manage to play with the melodies and the beat, even though the album never loses sight of its purpose as a swing album. However, what makes It Might As Well Be Swing more successful is the consistently high level of the performances. On their previous collaboration, both Sinatra and Basie sounded a bit worn out, but throughout this record they play with energy and vigor. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |
