And these cats were swinging, Jim. | | | I mean the band—looked like every guy in that band was just saying, "Go Jim, go man,"; and they were blowing, man.

| | Most of the songs on this CD are danceable, easy swinging tunes between 150 and 175 BPM (not that the man couldn't dance at ANY tempo), and Frankie Manning likes dancing to swing, not bebop. | | | I think that if Frankie Manning had his way with an unlimited library, those tunes would be replaced by cuts from Chick Webb, but who's to complain? | | | One nice feature of the CD is the listing on the back of the bpm (beats per minute) for each tune. |
