About The Record:

Swingin' With, by Helen Humes, is the third of three memorable Contemporary releases featuring, according to Scott Yarrow, Allmusic contributor, the distinctive singer on a dozen standards that she had missed documenting thus far. With fine backup work by trumpeter Joe Gordon, tenor saxophonist Teddy Edwards, pianist Wynton Kelly, guitarist Al Viola, bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Frank Butler, Humes is in top form on such tunes as When Day Is Done, There'll Be Some Changes Made, Pennies From Heaven and The Very Thought of You. One of her better albums."
