Swing Easy! is a 1954 album by Frank Sinatra, his second released under the Capitol label. It was released as a 10" LP consisting of eight songs, the maximum playing time available to a ten-inch record side being under fourteen minutes.
His second album on Capitol and the first with arrangements by Nelson Riddle, using a swing band format for the instrumentation. As the title implies, the record concentrates on up-tempo swingers done with a light touch. Again, the songs were all standards -- "Just One of Those Things," "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams," "All of Me" -- that benefited from the new thematic setting, the new arrangements, and, of course, Sinatra's increasingly playful and textured vocals.
This album is currently available on compact disc as a double album with Songs for Young Lovers, also initially released in the ten-inch format. It is also available as an expanded disc by import.
