Review by Carlos Tabora

The album Poppa Piccolino by Billy Cotton And His Orchestra is a delightful collection of vintage swing and jazz tunes that will transport listeners back to the golden age of big band music. Featuring the smooth vocals of Billy Cotton himself, as well as the talented musicianship of his orchestra, this album is a true gem for fans of classic swing.

From the upbeat and infectious title track "Poppa Piccolino" to the sultry ballad "Blue Moon", this album showcases the range and versatility of Billy Cotton and his band. The arrangements are expertly crafted, with lush harmonies and intricate instrumental interplay that will keep listeners engaged from start to finish.

One standout track is "Somebody Stole My Gal", which features a lively horn section and a swinging rhythm that is sure to get toes tapping. Another highlight is "Chinatown, My Chinatown", which showcases Billy Cotton's smooth vocals and the orchestra's impeccable timing.
