"Joe Marsala and Adele Girard were true "Sweethearts of Swing." Their musical collaboration resulted in a number of swingin' tunes that happily grace this album. "Romance," "Zero Hour,"
"Joe-Joe Jump," "Southern Comfort," "Lover," "Don't Let It End,"
"East of the Sun," "Slightly Dizzy," "I Would do Anything For You" and Joe's sweetly sung redition of "Gotta Be This or That"
beg to be heard over and over again. With its companion album, Joe Marsala 1936-42, this couple reveal their exceptional talent
as well as their love for each other. You'll want to have them both for your collection of fine old jazz recordings."

Great stuff

"Great stuff by one of Jazzdom's most under- appreciated clarinetists. Worth the price for the marvelous trumpet work of Joe Thomas and Bobby Hackett alone. For modernists, one of the first "older" players to dig , and hire, the younger progressive musicians, including Buddy Rich and Shelley Manne. A wonderful recording."
