Review by FABIANO GATTA

The Things We Did Last Summer by Sonny Dunham And His Orchestra is a timeless album that captures the essence of the big band era. The album features classic tracks such as "Cherokee" and "Stardust," which showcase the orchestra's impeccable musicianship and swing style. The album also includes some lesser-known gems, like the title track "The Things We Did Last Summer," which is a beautiful ballad that highlights Dunham's smooth trumpet playing. The arrangements are top-notch, with the brass section providing a rich and full sound that perfectly complements the rhythm section. The Things We Did Last Summer is a must-listen for anyone who loves classic big band music. It's a testament to the enduring legacy of Sonny Dunham and his orchestra, and a reminder of the golden age of swing.
