A match made in heaven.

""Together At Last" is one of the best and hottest albums I ever heard. The selections are mostly jazz and gospel, but presented in a format that really swings. Pat Yankee is a great blues singer who worked for many years with the great Turk Murphy Band in San Francisco. The Hot Frogs, from Los Angeles, were a very popular dixieland and swing show band who, for 20 years, were favorites on the jazz festival circuit, Although Pat and the Hot Frogs only performed together at a few jazz festivals, they sound as if they had worked together for 20 years. The album is mostly Pat with the band providing superb backing. However, there are four cuts (out of 17) where the Hot Frogs show what they can do without Pat. If you enjoy dixieland, swing and blues, with a little gospel thrown in, this album is for you. It is truly a match made in heaven."
