RCA Victor LSP-1476
"Most of Joe's previous arrangements have been in a lush style that featured the use of many strings. In this album he turns to a strictly big-band style with no strings whatsoever. The sound is big and full - but clean. The brass is sharp and biting, the reeds mellow and the harmonies close and rich. Above all is the beat, for the music swings - and swings again - and keeps on swinging from the first selection to the last." [Excerpt liner notes]
