Things sure were swingin’ on this 1959 Capitol album, one of Peggy’s finest and most overlooked jazz outings. Accompanied by an all-star tentet that featured Pete Candoli, Barney Kessel and Shelly Manne among its members, she tackled originals and great standards including “It’s a Wonderful World”; “Ridin’ High”; “I’m Beginning to See the Light”; “Alone Together”, and more.

Midway through a small lull in her live performance career, Peggy Lee recorded the stereo LP Things Are Swingin’ in Hollywood during May 1958, at the same sessions that produced the biggest hit of her career, “Fever.” (Though not on the original LP, it was added to the 2004 reissue as a bonus track.) Still, Things Are Swingin’ isn’t a high point in Lee’s career, especially when considered among her many successes of the late ’50s (like the following year’s Beauty and the Beat!). Though her instincts and powers of bewitchment were faultless as ever, she betrayed a few weaknesses in her normally excellent voice (perhaps a result of her semi-retirement at the time), and the ten-piece studio orchestra – including session heavyweights Don Fagerquist, Barney Kessel, Bob Enevoldsen, Howard Roberts, Pete Candoli, and Shelly Manne – isn’t given much to work with by conductor Jack Marshall.
