Frank Sinatra - It Might As Well Be Swing

Sinatra's t first studio collaboration with Quincy Jones and second with Count Basie, It Might As Well Be Swing It Might as Well Be Swing is a beautifully structured and swing-oriented set.

The album consists of then-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 so flexible.

Adding a string section to their core band, Basie plays a rather standard swing, 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.
