Bob Chester And His Orchestra - Got Something In My Eye If I Were The Moon

Review by John Gietzen

Bob Chester and His Orchestra's album "Got Something In My Eye If I Were The Moon" is a delightful blend of swing and big band music from the 1940s. The album features a mix of instrumental and vocal tracks, with Chester's band showcasing their impressive musicianship throughout.

The album opens with the upbeat and energetic "Got Something In My Eye," a catchy tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's tight arrangements and impressive solos are on full display in tracks like "The Big Dipper," "Under A Blanket Of Blue," and "Song Of India."

Vocalist Dolores O'Neill adds a touch of sweetness to the album with her performances on tracks like "I'll Never Smile Again" and "I'm Sorry For Myself." Her voice blends perfectly with the band's lush arrangements, adding an extra layer of emotion to the already beautiful melodies.

Summary by John Gietzen
