André Previn His Trio And Orchestra - Soft And Swinging The Music Of Jimmy McHugh

Review by Виктор Старун

Soft and Swinging: The Music of Jimmy McHugh by André Previn – A Jazz Gem That Still Slaps Alright, let’s cut to the chase. This album isn’t just another smooth jazz record from 1964—it’s a vibe machine. André Previn and his crew came through with Soft and Swinging, an easy-listening masterpiece that feels like sipping bourbon on a summer night. You know what I mean? It’s classy but doesn’t take itself too seriously. And yeah, it’s got those golden Jimmy McHugh tunes you can’t help but hum along to. Now, let me hit you with two tracks that stuck in my brain like gum under a bar stool: “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love” and “On The Sunny Side Of The Street.” First up, “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love.” Man, this one hits different. Previn’s arrangement is so buttery smooth it almost feels illegal. The trio swings hard without trying too hard, if that makes sense. There’s no flashy nonsense here—just pure musicianship letting the melody breathe. Every note drips with sincerity, and honestly, it’s kinda hard not to feel something when they play it. Like, who wouldn’t want someone singing that to them? It’s romantic as hell but not cheesy. More like… effortlessly cool. Then there’s “On The Sunny Side Of The Street,” which is basically happiness bottled into four minutes. This track could brighten even the darkest Monday morning. The orchestra comes alive here, adding layers of warmth that make you wanna grab your shades and stroll down some imaginary boulevard. It’s peppy but never overdoes it. Previn knows how to balance energy with chill, and damn, does he nail it. Look, I’m not gonna sit here pretending every second of this album blew my mind. Some tracks blend together after a while because, well, that’s jazz for ya. But these standout moments? They remind you why Jimmy McHugh was such a legend and why André Previn deserves mad respect for bringing his stuff back to life. Here’s the kicker though—this album wasn’t made for today’s playlists or TikTok trends. Nope. It exists in its own little world where people still wore suits to dinner and cared about liner notes. Yet somehow, it still works. Maybe we’re all craving a little less noise and a lot more soul these days. Or maybe I’m just saying that because I need another drink. Either way, go listen to this thing. Even if jazz isn’t your jam, give it a shot. Worst-case scenario? You’ll have something decent playing while you argue with your cat about whose turn it is to do the dishes.
