Swing's the Thing (Al Sears album)


Swing's the Thing is an album by saxophonist Al Sears which was recorded in 1960 and released on the Swingville label.

Reception

Scott Yanow of AllMusic states, "A fine swing-based tenor who could stomp and honk with the best of them, Sears had relatively few opportunities to record as a leader... Sears sticks to basic originals, blues, and standards, and is in top form on these swinging and generally accessible performances".
