Let's Swing! is an album by saxophonist Budd Johnson which was recorded in 1960 and released on the Swingville label.[1] [2]
The contemporaneous DownBeat reviewer praised the playing of both Johnsons, but commented that there was little of interest in the musical arrangements used. Scott Yanow of AllMusic states, "One of tenor saxophonist Budd Johnson's best showcases, Let's Swing! finds him featured in a quintet ... Throughout, Johnson sounds both modern, as if he had come of age as one of the "cool school," and timeless, since he was a major player by the mid-'30s. A fine set".
