...Young, Billy Kyle and the rest broil their venerable chops in a sweetly swingin' 12-bar blues. And Bing leads them, a simpatico impresario, with a suave verve. Beneath the famous Crosby savoir-faire, we for once sense the adolescent thrill he must have felt back in the mid-'20s, when he first heard Armstrong create the naughty form of music that Bing made nice...
