Customer Reviews excellent recording of an excellent artist A bargain to be able to pick up two 'lost' albums of this quality! Highly recommended!. This CD is loaded with goodies, from ballads to swing to big band and back again. How did Darin learn to sing like this ? D , so good at pop and c&w ,also outdo even Mr. Sinatra learned his craft in the Big Bands but how on earth could B. S. at Swing and Ballads ? His voice control , phrasing and changes of timbre are impeccable . If you like the "mack the knife/beyond the sea" Darin this Cd. is for you . If you like swinging Big Bands this Cd is for you . If you like singers with terrific Jazz feel ,easy swing and constantly changing phrasing and emphasis on lyric repeats then yes, this is for you. There is not one duff track on this double album Cd. Both big bands are superb and full of star players but I'd particularly like to mention the great drumming of Jack Sperling on the Richard Wess sessions. There are 16 swingers and 7 ballads,including the beautiful, new to me, Van Heusen/Cahn "Where love has gone" and the only slight reservation I have, on the whole Cd,is the Choir on 3 of the Billy May tracks. This Cd is great value and has so many good tracks that I can't bring myself to highlight any for you. Just buy it! What a loss Darin was,I hope Spacey's film helps others realise Darin's genius. . .
