Swanky is a fresh take on some of the most elegant, engaging and absolutely wonderful songs ever composed. This is my loving musical tour of the Jazz Age - 1920's to 1940's. My pal, mentor and Legendary Producer/Engineer/Mixer Al Schmitt supervised the recording at Capitol Studios, Hollywood.
I want to thank all of the terrific musicians, engineers and all of the creative and hard working folks who helped make this dream come true. I could not - would not have done this without you.

“SWANKY "I think it's a masterpiece of immense quality. Your voice is hypnotic simply great. ....in this time period of my life you are my sound-track. I wanted to congratulate you for the beauty of your work and your album.” - Alessio Miraglia

“With the Bowler hat on the cover and first line of Swanky, I knew this was going to be a stellar CD, all the way through. I exclaimed in delight, over an unexpected bit of relevancy. It is absolutely a priceless gem, faithfully re-creating, not only the phenomenal instrumental artistry of the past, but the sweet, carefree atmosphere! (True confession--I had to do a little Charleston, about halfway through!) I couldn't help noticing the background music is exactly what it should be, and mixed expertly. Challenging vocals are perfectly in time, and relaxed. The emotional tone is reminiscent--and there are plenty of hilarious surprises. The end is special, too. Don't miss this one!” - Peggy Carr
