Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A great album of neo-swing.......2002-12-22

This is not my usual cup of tea. Although I tend to like and appreciate a wide palatte of modern jazz, swing doesn't usually find its way to my vast and growing collection.

I bought this disc primarily because I saw drummer Joe Ascione was on it. I'd heard Ascione once before, and I was completely blown away by his incredible sense of swing. Along with John Goldsby on bass and Sir Roland Hanna on piano, this is surely among the finest swing rhythm sections ever recorded. And they do not disappoint.

Vignola has a very attractive single-note style on guitar, is very fleet-fingured, incorporates spot-on intonation, has a sophisticated rhymthmic sense, and effectively comps where appropriate. All in all, a very accomplished set. Only those who are allergic to swing should avoid it.
