After months in the making, Johnny Hall's 10th recording is ready to bring you back to the days when swing was king and the brass was loud and shiny. "Classic Swing" is a celebration of the jazz era and features recordings of Johnny performing his favorites from back when to right now.
"My parents grew up in the era of the big bands and ballroom dancing. I have fond memories of watching the Lawrence Welk Show and seeing Mom and Dad dance around the living room to some favorite tune. The love of the jazz/swing sound transferred to me, and as I grew up, my music collection began to fill with the voices of Sinatra, Bennet and Darin. I have wanted to do a recording of swing tunes for a long time and finally got around to doing it."
If you've ever been to one of Johnny's live concerts, you may recall his story about hearing Robert Goulet's perfomance in Hallmark Hall of Fame's Brigadoon and being gobsmacked by his rendition of "If Ever I Would Leave You". Now, with "Classic Swing", you'll be able to hear Johnny perform that classic show tune.
