Review by David Johnson

The album "I Don't Know Why The Elks Parade" by Bobby Sherwood and His Orchestra is a delightful collection of jazz and swing music that will transport listeners back to the golden era of big band music. The album features Sherwood's expert arrangements and the tight, polished performances of his talented orchestra, creating a sound that is both energetic and sophisticated.

The album opens with the title track, a lively and upbeat tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the listener is treated to a variety of swing numbers, including the sultry "Lover Come Back To Me" and the lively "Tangerine." The orchestra also showcases their versatility with a few slower numbers, such as "Autumn in New York" and "I Cover The Waterfront."

Sherwood's arrangements are a highlight of the album, with each song featuring a perfect balance of horns, percussion, and piano. The solos are also impressive, with each musician showcasing their skills without overpowering the rest of the orchestra.
