5.0 out of 5 stars "..... The Glory Days of the Big Band sound...", 21 Feb 2006

By A Customer

What an amazing album!
I have never heard anything like it before and that's saying something for a serious fan of all things swing.
Perfectly in keeping with the popular taste for retro - which has captured the imagination of all from Mr Williams to Mr Callum -"Top Cat" manages to distil the spirit of the genre and yet go one step beyond. It presents us with the kind of rarely-if-ever heard, rich-as-satin magnificience of big band orchestration thanks to the wizardry of Mr Pete Long, as an awesome backdrop for the fulsome power of Mr Richard Shelton's vocal delivery (rather than 'smooth as chocolate' think 'deep mocha laced with rum' or even Havana Club 7 for those in the know! Truely a modern masterpiece and production triumph that the fats cats of 40s Hollywood would have been proud to put a name to.
Definitely one for the collectors of 21st century classics.

5.0 out of 5 stars TC packs a punch!, 22 Feb 2006

By A Customer

This is a mega production! Absolutely seemless. Worth all the rest of the retro rat pack put together. All it really needs now is a big screen accompaniment. Bring on Ava! Highly recommended

4.0 out of 5 stars New & surprisingly cool!!
As a fan of jazz and big band music in particular, I am usually quite cynical when it comes to artists covering the great classics. Read more
