Frank Sinatra- It Might As Well Be Swing-LP

It Might As Well Be Swing captures Frank Sinatra at a vibrant crossroads, teaming with Count Basie's orchestra under the fresh direction of Quincy Jones. This 1964 album leans more into swing than its predecessor, delivering a finely crafted set that includes Sinatra’s enduring take on "Fly Me To The Moon." The playful new second verse to "Hello, Dolly!" pays homage to Louis Armstrong, adding a personal twist that reflects Sinatra’s flair for improvisation. With tracks like "I Wish You Love" and "The Best Is Yet To Come," the album balances lush arrangements with Basie’s driving rhythm section, making it a distinctive entry in Sinatra’s catalog where swing truly meets sophistication. This pressing from 1964 presents the album on vinyl in very good-plus-plus condition, meaning the record surface shows a glossy finish with only minor, almost imperceptible scuffs or faint paper marks that won’t distract from listening. Hearing this on vinyl offers a tactile connection to a moment when Sinatra’s smooth vocals and Basie’s big band were both at the top of their game—a pairing as natural as a well-matched suit and tie. This copy’s clean condition makes it a dependable choice for those who appreciate the details of both sound and presentation.
