Free Music Notes for Suddenly It's Swing/Swingin Eye
Free Music Review: Overlooked Gem
Hit: 5 Stars
Si Zentner contributed to the bands of Les Brown, Harry James and Jimmy Dorsey before, in 1959, starting his own aggregation. This was not a good time to start a big band, as even many of the name bands had disbanded, due to increaased expenses and changing public tastes, which emphasized vocals to orchestration. And yet he did it, even scoring a top 40 hit with "Up a Lazy River" in 1961.
At their best Big Swing Bands are an awesome spectacle of power, teamwork and precision. Many have never heard them in their glory, hearing only scratchy old low fi recordings, which to be honest appeal to only a few of we hard core lovers of the genre. It is sad that recording technology
advanced to the point where the power and impact of a true big band could finally be captured only to find them nearly extinct. This is such an album. Zentner's band swings with muscular ease through up tempo numbers, and oozes elegance and grace on slow dance numbers. The fidelity is quite good, it has obviously been remastered with care. Highly recommended, as are any late 50's to mid 60s recordings of Harry James, Woody Herman, Quincy Jones big bands. Enjoy!
