"I grew up in the swing era and played this music the first time around. The sound of this band is remarkably authentic. Frank has captured the excitement and energy of a great era, with superb musicians and arrangements true to the day...with a classy touch of Benny Goodman thrown in . It's a kick being a part of it."
