AMG Review of Sinatra's Swingin' Session!!! And More
Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music GuideSinatra's Swingin' Session!!! And More is a fast, driving album, the speediest and hardest swing collection Frank Sinatra ever recorded. The majority of the album is a re-recording of six of the eight songs from his first LP, Sing and Dance with Frank Sinatra, as rearranged by Nelson Riddle. Sinatra performed the songs twice as fast as was expected; consequently, 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 uptempo numbers speed by, the allads are sprightly. It doesn't have the brassy verve of A Swingin' Affair, but Sinatra's Swingin' Session!!! does have a confident, swaggering flavor of its own that makes it nearly as enjoyable.

There is a very amusing interplay between celeste and piano which begins Nelson Riddle's chart that quickly sets into this charged setting with an early break that is dynamically wild with passages coming quickly between saxes and ...
