Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Wee Bonnie Baker Rules.......2003-11-15

This is another fine example of the CD's being released by Collector's Choice. They put together great compilations of artists that the other labels ignore. I love all the cuts on this disk. Wee Bonnie Baker has a great feel for the cute, slightly suggestive lyrics in songs like "If I could be the dummy on your knee" and "My resistance is low". Her innocent girlish voice works well with the upbeat tempo of the Orrin Tucker led band. If you like Big Band and Swing and are looking for a CD to brighten up a dreary day, give this a try. It's sure to bring a smile to your face.

5 out of 5 stars I'm really glad I got this one!.......2003-01-25

This is one of our most often played swing-jazz records; we just don't get tired of it. The upbeat musicality of it gets everyone in listening range into the mood. Orrin's singing is suave and warm while Bonnie Baker's lyrics are playful and cute. It's interesting that Bonnie Baker of New Orleans was Louis Armstrong's recommendation to Orrin, and that is how she came to be with Orrin Tucker. The simple, easy music styling of this record is very pretty, and it really swings.
