...wrong, the record is good. The arrangement is played in a far cleaner manner than the 1934 Lunceford band could do (although the same wouldn't be true today), but it settles once and for all the argument as to whether all a band needs to play good swing is a bunch of musicians that can read and play section well, and a good arranger.
