Review

Norwegian depth look at the great American songbook has a tendency to end with awkward copies, but this is a shining exception by the sextet The Swing Pack, formerly known as The Sinatra Songbook. With a solid jazz ensemble at all seats they are swinging gracefully through a set of American standards and not to mention a handful of style secure songs from their own production, and fixes both the feather ease and distinct request, as this music requires to work.[1]

The singer Ingar Kristiansen appear as slightly less Sinatra and a little more Kristiansen than on the previous record, which is entirely positive. The album will also offer several brilliant instrumental solos and three great sounding recordings with the Radio Orchestra in impeccable shape.[2]

The review of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet awarded the album 5 stars (dice).[1]
