    Personnel:
  • Dick Hyman - piano
  • Phil Bodner - alto saxophone, clarinet
  • Urbie Green - trombone
  • Milt Hinton - acoustic bass
  • Butch Miles - drums
  • Bucky Pizzarelli - rhythm guitar
  • Joe Temperley - baritone saxophone
  • Frank Wess - alto saxophone (#5,8,12)
  • Joe Wilder - trumpet, flugelhorn

As the title implies, this is very much a swing set. Pianist Dick Hyman (a master of all pre-bop styles) has little difficulty emulating Teddy Wilson, Art Tatum and Count Basie (among others) plus his own style in an octet also featuring trumpeter Joe Wilder, trombonist Urbie Green, altoist-clarinetist Phil Bodner, baritonist Joe Temperley, rhythm guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, bassist Milt Hinton, drummer Butch Miles and (on three tunes) altoist Frank Wess. The opening and closing numbers are ad-lib blues both titled "From the Age of Swing"; sandwiched in between are ten swing-era standards plus a couple of obscure Duke Ellington items. Among the highlights are "Topsy," "Them There Eyes," "Rose Room" and "Mean to Me." No real surprises occur, but mainstream fans should like this swinging set.
