Our Take

Tony Bennett and Count Basie team up to bring us a swingin' album that's as smooth as a freshly brewed cup of tea.

From the moment the first note hits your ears, you're transported to a smoky jazz club in the heart of London. Bennett's velvety vocals effortlessly glide over Basie's impeccable arrangements, creating a sound that is both timeless and toe-tapping.

Tracks like "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" and "Just in Time" showcase Bennett's incredible range and undeniable charm, while Basie's band provides the perfect backdrop with their masterful playing.

But it's not all smooth sailing on this album. The live recordings from the In Person! portion of the album give us a glimpse into the raw energy and excitement of a Tony Bennett and Count Basie show. You can practically hear the clinking of glasses and feel the crowd's infectious energy.

Overall, Swingin Together + In Person! is a delightful journey through the world of swing music, expertly guided by two legends of the genre. So grab a cuppa, sit back, and let Tony Bennett and Count Basie take you on a musical adventure you won't soon forget. Cheers, darlings!
