"The Blue Saracens are one of the top bands in NYC and they are a favorite of listeners and dancers alike. They add their own touch and unique sound to several classics. Their originals swing just as hard as the classics they cover.This is one album that swing fans young and old can appreciate."

It's the 1940s -- in stereo!

"There are only a few swing bands these days who sound anything like the original swingers or who can perform a cover song with any justice. The Blue Saracens are one of these bands. The songs on here are crisp and clean and Nicole Frydman's powerful vocals are simply astounding. What I find refreshing is that the 12 selections offer a range of tempos instead of choosing to stick with a medium beat throughout the album. If you're tired of neo-swing bands that sound too much like rock bands, you're best bet is to get your hands on a copy of this CD. You won't regret it."
