Editorial Review:
A Swingin' Affair! is as perfect as records get. Sinatra sounds near to bursting with self-assurance on this 1957 release; even on the laments "I Guess I'll Have to Change My Plans" and "No One Ever Tells You," this is a Frank who's at the top of his game and isn't shy about letting you know he knows it. Nelson Riddle's upbeat arrangements are among his smoothest, and the varied program (which also includes "Night and Day," the wiseacre "I Wish I Were in Love Again," and "I Won't Dance") makes for one of the best-conceived Sinatra concept discs. The CD also includes "The Lady Is a Tramp," cut during the same sessions, as a bonus track. --Rickey Wright

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Sinatra's and Riddle's brilliance shine through in the winner.
A Swingin' Affair, along with Songs for Swingin' Lovers which preceded it are in my opinion the 2 best up tempo albums Sinatra recorded, the pinnacle of his big band style recordings during his Capitol period. The Nelson Riddle arrangements and orchestrations are first rate. "Night and Day" begins the album with a brassy intro and sets the pattern. The characteristic interplay between brass and strings, a Riddle trademark, is well demonstrated. Other recognizable elements found in the tracks include ... Read More
Rating: - Just what I was looking for.
Prompt delievery- This CD was hard to find in stores. I was happy to find it here, exactly what I wanted. Thanks!!!
Rating: - Great cd
I Wish I Were in Love Again is probably Sinatra's best song. Its so playful and I love the way he rhymes in the song. The rest of the cd is full of great swing tunes and upbeat dance songs. Not a bad song on the cd.
Rating: - Frank At His Most Lively And Energetic.
Aside from 1962's "Sinatra-Basie", I cannot think of a more exhuberant and engaging album in Frank Sinatra's catalogue than 1957's "A Swingin' Affair!". In stark contrast to his gloomier works "In The Wee Small Hours" and "Where Are You", "A Swingin' Affair!" is full of energy and bounce. Frank's clear as water voice and Nelson Riddle's impeccable arrangements make for a remarkably entertaining album that ranks as one of the duo's finest hours.
The album kicks off with a fantastic reimagining ... Read More
Rating: - Simply the best Sinatra album EVER!
My personal favorite Sinatra album. If it was still on record, I'd have worn the grooves out by now. From begining to end... fantastic!
