Frank Sinatra Count Basie Quincy Jones - It Might As Well Be Swing LP F 1012 M Archival Sleeve It's a hard choice with the 3 Sinatra Basie recording but this is my favorite of the 3 The Band is smoking and Sinatra voice is perfection
In 1964, Sinatra and Basie would make a final studio recording, It Might as Well Be Swing, orchestrated by Quincy Jones,
It Might as Well Be Swing is a 1964 studio album by Frank Sinatra, accompanied by Count Basie and his orchestra. It was Sinatra's first studio recording arranged by Quincy Jones.
The recording of "Fly Me to the Moon" which appears on this album has become one of Sinatra's most popular. This was Sinatra and Basie's second collaboration after 1962's Sinatra-Basie.
Sinatra's cover version of "Hello Dolly" on the album features a new second verse improvised by Sinatra, which pays tribute to Louis Armstrong, who had topped the Billboard charts with his own version of the song earlier in 1964.
It Might as Well Be Swing is a reference to the title of the well known jazz standard "It Might as Well Be Spring".
Mr. S with some good folks backing him on this Reprise album...He has the Count Basie Band for musical support and some crafty arrangements by Quincy Jones..."It Might As Well Be Swing" is a classic Sinatra album from the mid 60's...No better singer using top phrasing on every cut...Good stuff here...
