For several years Arbors Records released loads of swing jazz specialties. All great stuff too. In the current times their numbers have dropped. So it's a pleasure to welcome a new Arbors product. This time it's trumpet titan James Suggs leading a swinging pack of pleasure through a list of tunes I'd suspect all will enjoy hearing. Those selections chosen here represent quite a broad range from “Grazing In The Grass” to “You've Got A Friend” in the pop arena, to “My Shining Hour” and the title song “For All We Know” from the standard book, to “St. James Infirmary” and “Moten Swing” from the blues era. Several less well known choices complete this super collection. Let's put it this way: if these musicians are ever investigated it will only be because they're having such a good time! Thanks, Arbors. Let's hear from you more often!
