Right now this album is my favorite...so vintage! I use it to exercise on my elliptical trainer, while driving my the car and to encourage my husband to play his piano and sax in the same swinging manner. The band is perfect and the vocals are sung just the way the songs should be. Love it and hum bits of the songs all day long!
