Synopsis

Album Description
"Kick It!" is a rare and wonderful collection of some of the best songs ever written, sung and played to perfection by Lannie and her Swingin' Big Band. Dancers and listeners alike will love this CD. Undulate to the energetic, percussive, "Mambo Italiano" and the sultry tropical "Sway". Swing to Chick Webb's "Play Me a Swing Song" and the bopping "720 In the Book". Lannie's heartfelt deeply romantic rendition of Hoagy Carmichael's "The Nearness of You" will melt your heart. Jump and jive when her band begins to wail on Louis Prima's "Oh Babe" and Big Joe Turner's "Roll 'em Pete". Lindy, Mambo, Swing, Jump. It's all here.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"this is an almost flawless and very exciting performance that may appeal even to those who are not into swing or big band sound but are not turned off by it... and if you are a swing or big band fan this will kick you to heaven and back and forth and then around again... a very powerful and tasteful rendition of originals and covers, concise but thorough, unpretentious but extremely talented, spirited and professional, a real treat, and the lady's voice is delightful and a little but thankfully not too much similar to a (young) Peggy Lee with a tad of Flora Purim for additional bonus flavor...."
