Review by Brian Fredrick

Swingville by Prestige All Stars is a classic jazz album that showcases the talents of some of the greatest jazz musicians of the 1950s. The album features a tight-knit ensemble of musicians, including John Coltrane, Gene Ammons, and Art Farmer, among others.

The album opens with the upbeat and lively track "Jug Ain't Gone", which sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the musicians take turns showcasing their individual talents, with each track featuring a different soloist.

One standout track is "Blues Up and Down", which features a soulful saxophone solo by Gene Ammons. Another highlight is "Lester Leaps In", a tribute to legendary saxophonist Lester Young, which features a dynamic and energetic performance by John Coltrane.
