Frank Sinatra - Sinatra's Swingin' Session!!! + A Swingin' Affair!

2 complete LPs on 1 CD with 12-page booklet, this release compiles two of the most jazz oriented and swinging albums of Sinatra's career: 'Sinatra's Swingin' Session!!!' and 'A Swingin' Affair!'

Included here in their entirety, both albums feature Nelson Riddle in the dual capacity of arranger and conductor and boast the talents of such important jazz soloists as Harry Sweets Edison and Buddy Collette, among many others.

Sinatra's Swingin' Session!!! is a fast, driving album, the speediest and hardest swing collection Frank Sinatra ever recorded. It's one of his jazziest swing sets, with the musicians spitting out energetic, forceful solos and providing tough, gutsy support. Not only do the up-tempo numbers speed by, the ballads are sprightly. It has a confident, swaggering flavour of its own. - ***** Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic

A Swingin' Affair! is a forceful, brassy album - it exudes a self-assured, confident aura. It is a hard, jazzy album. However, the attack is more brash. - ***** Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic
