Listener Reviews & Comments My father borrowed this album from a friend when I was about 14. He only got to play it once and his friend never saw it again. I wore it smooth and was forever hooked on big band. The arrangements are clean without being sterile. It has several clasic songs with Les's unique signature as well as a great example of what big bands were doing to "traditional" songs at at that time as shown by the "Volga Boat" song with it's trombone solo that will make you look for other trombone solos. I am soo happy to find it on CD.
