If you want to know what big band swing is supposed to sound like, this is it! As a performing musician and a big band fan for over 40 years, this CD is as good as it gets. I dare you to sit still while you listen to it.

If anyone knows swing it's Ray Anthony.From Glenn Miller's trumpet section, at age 18, to the present,he,probably better than anyone appreciates the "new" popularity of swing. The album features clean phrasing and a great ensemble blend. Every section has all-star players. "Route 66", "Opus One" and "Swing-A-Ding-Ding" are highlights. Vocalists Madeline Vergari and Patrick Tuzzolino are both very good. A nice mix of old and new tunes. Ray's trumpet is as rich as ever. Lead man Rick Baptist heads a dynamite trumpet section. This band is tight! Ray, go ahead and start on Swing Club II.

1.0 out of 5 stars THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE WORST RAY ANTHONY CD EVER........, November 18, 1999

This review is from: Swing Club (Audio CD)

I have been a Ray fan for many decades but I am very disappinted in this cd. To begin with Ray took the piano out of the rhythm section. Then he tried to put a lot of vocals in. Then he took the melody out of the music. I don't know who advised Ray but they did a terrible job. I have many wonderful cds by Ray that I can still enjoy. These are the ones I will listen to but not this cd.
