If Sinatra was considered the Chairman of the Board, Tony Babino will be considered President and CEO of the company. From the opening chord of this CD, you'll be very, very impressed with Tony B's powerhouse vocals. He belts out the standard, "I've Got The World On A String" with a livelier arrangement, to a heartfelt rendition of "And I Love Her". If you think he might be another cover artist, you'll be wrong. Tony B writes his own songs as well. He wrote 4 of the 14 tracks on this CD. Some of his own compositions like "50 Years" and "Sentimental Heartstrings" are better than some standards. This is a superb CD. You'll definitely, without a doubt, enjoy this CD. As the title suggests...you'll be "Swingin' Around with Tony B." for a long time to come.

Tony Babino is amazing. Years ago he sang at my wedding, and I was hooked. Not only is he an amazing singer, but he is a very nice guy. I don't really know how to express how much I enjoy listening to him sing, but I can tell you that once you hear him, you too will be hooked. Buy his music, see him live, either way, you will love it!

Tony B has achieved something that not many people today have. He is keeping alive a form of singing style, that has been forgotten by the younger generation of today. Tony B has the talent and the power to put over such songs that the younger artists of today wouldn't even dream of attempting. Whether he's Swinging Around, or just Crooning in his Velvet voice. He's sure to please all that listen. The Tony B Original's are wonderful and I'm sure you'll agree. And his renditions of a few of the older songs are so fresh and alive that the composers and lyricists themselves would be even more proud of the songs they've written. "Swingin' Around" is a Masterpeice and I can't wait for More. Thanks Tony, and Keep Swingin.

Tony Babino might be the best entertainer nobody has heard of. This album is 4 years old I just found it....His interpretation of standards is amazing...his own songs are of classic material and since I have seen him in person doing Al Jolson I have become a huge fan. Whether he does Jolson or Babino do NOT miss this man

Tony B is a real talent and his album demonstrates just that! Opening the album with "I've Got The World On A String" (Harold Arlen/Ted Koehler) sets the tone for an amazing album. Tony B proves that he can croon like the best! And though he sounds a lot like Sinatra, if you listen to his album, you'll see that he has a charm all his own!
Don't miss "Swingin' Around," "I Wish I Could Sing Like Sinatra," and "Fifty Years," all written by Tony B.
"Swingin' Around with Tony B" is definitely worth buying for old tunes with a modern flair, and new ones that will quickly become "old" favorites!

"Swingin Around with Tony B" is an extremely well down and much enjoyed CD. The song, "50 Years" is one of the most requested songs on our weekly radio program, "Tempo Italiano". What makes this CD even more enjoyable is the comfortable and easy-going delivery of the artist. Tony B displays a warmth and charm in each selection on the CD.
We look forward to future releases by this really talented artist.

Tony B. (Babino,not Bennet) Is one of the best singers around today (Tony Bennet is not bad either) But mr.Babino is more than deserving of carrying the torch, that was once held ever so high by one "Francis Albert Sinatra" I myself being an entertainer (who also sings) can really appriciate mr.Babinos brilliance with a song. His vocal ability is remarkable. I predict he will be going far in this business (show business,that is) everyone who likes good music should get his CD "Swinging Around" It is the best thing to happen to popular music in years. Man, he good Actor/Entertainer:Vic Martino

I am a big fan of the male singer and I like to listen to any of the new albums that come out. So when I first heard of Tony B on the radio I was so impressed that I had to buy this record. Tony's phrasing is quite excellent and he swings hard. His selection of material is quite good as well and very accessable to the average listener. If you want to hear full forced hard core big band swing, Tony B is the man and then some!!!

Tony Babino is one of the finest of the new crop of singers of standards. He is heavily influenced by Al Jolson in both singing and showmanship. However, he is no nostalgia act. There is never a boring moment in a Babino performance. He gives his audience all that he has. Some may compare him to Sinatra, but he is closer to Jimmy Roselli. The title tune on the album is very accessable; I wish I had written it! Babino's technique is strong. He is always in tune. Every note counts. His selection of material is quite interesting, especially the Rodgers and Hart number "I Gotta Get Back to New York". I hope that Mr. Babino releases another collection soon.
