5.0 out of 5 stars THIS GUY ROCKS!, January 31, 2006

I had the pleasure of hearing Jack Sheldon's orchestra live in the last few years, so I was excited to find that he has CD's for sale on Amazon!! If you love the big band sound from the late 50's/early 60's you will LOVE his music. He has to be in the top 3 greatest trumpet players of all time. The choice of songs as well as the quality of the recording is amazing, it's like he's playing live right in your home. It's a must have CD for anybody who appreciates fine music. L. Mac

I couldn't imagine Jack singing "Over the Rainbow", but he pulls it off. His trumpet playing is great and the band is made up of the top "cats" in L.A.. It's like the Sinatra sessions with Nelson Riddle. The audio quality is superb. There's not much soloing (except for Jack) which makes this a nice "commercial" CD. Definitely worth having in your library

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely great, January 4, 2007

This is a very smooth big band production with Jack Sheldon firmly in control with both his singing, and the horn. The first cut, "Don't Worry 'Bout Me" is my favorite, for Jack's very smooth (Chet Baker tone, Lee Morgan fingers - the best of both) horn intro, then his nice vocal interpretation. Almost every tune on here is spiced with a little Sheldon spunk. Could've lived without another "Over the Rainbow" rendition, though.
Production values seemed excellent to me. If you liked Jack's other CD's you're going to really enjoy this. If you haven't heard Jack before, and prefer a big band sound to a small group, this might be the perfect Jack Sheldon introduction for you.
Service and delivery from vendor was excellent.
