With the exception of "Dinah" (from March 1943) the dozen performances on this budget Drive reissue CD date from either April or October 1944. Highpoints include a classic version of "Opus #1," "Swing High" and "Loser's Weepers." With such soloists as trumpeter Pete Candoli, clarinetist Buddy DeFranco, Al Klink on tenor, pianist Dodo Marmarosa and drummer Buddy Rich along with some so-so vocalists and a string section, the swing music is enjoyable although not really all that essential. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
