Swing's the Thing

Album by Illinois Jacquet

Swing's the Thing is a studio album by American tenor saxophonist Illinois Jacquet, released in 1956. It is small-group jazz with a swinging feel, centred on Jacquet's robust tenor sax tone with blues and early R&B inflections, and it sits within his 1950s recordings that bridge swing-era phrasing and postwar jazz styles.
