It Might As Well Be Swing brings together Frank Sinatra’s smooth vocal charm with Count Basie’s swinging orchestra, all arranged and conducted by Quincy Jones. This 1964 collaboration stands out for blending Sinatra’s timeless crooning with the energetic brass and reeds of Basie’s band, offering tracks like "Fly Me To The Moon" and "I Wanna Be Around" that balance intimacy and big-band flair. The presence of cellos adds subtle depth, while the vibraphone colors the soundscape, making it a focused listening experience that remains a distinctive entry in both artists’ catalogs. This vintage 1964 pressing on vinyl delivers that classic mix with a touch of engineering finesse from Lowell Frank. The record grades at VG+, indicating it has seen some play with minor surface imperfections that shouldn’t interfere with enjoyment. It’s a solid choice for those who appreciate jazz and swing with a touch of sophisticated production, and the 12-inch format offers a visually striking presence on any shelf. Ted Allen’s artwork complements the music’s polished yet relaxed vibe, proving the album is as thoughtful in its presentation as it is in its sound. Frank Sinatra • Count Basie And His Orchestra.
