Don Cornell With Bob Dewey And His Orchestra - Take Me In Your Arms

Review by Jeremy Fulton

Don Cornell's album Take Me In Your Arms, featuring Bob Dewey and his orchestra, is a delightful collection of romantic ballads and upbeat swing numbers. The album showcases Cornell's smooth and velvety voice, which blends perfectly with the lush orchestral arrangements. The opening track, "I'll Walk Alone," sets the tone for the album with its melancholic melody and heartfelt lyrics. Other standout tracks include "I'm Yours," a playful love song with a catchy chorus, and "I'll Be Seeing You," a tender ballad that showcases Cornell's emotional range. The swing numbers, such as "It's Been a Long, Long Time" and "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," are equally enjoyable, with Dewey's orchestra providing a lively and energetic backdrop. Take Me In Your Arms is a timeless album that showcases Cornell's talent as a singer and Dewey's prowess as an arranger. Fans of classic vocal jazz and swing music will surely enjoy this album.
