Frank Sinatra and Count Basie's second collaboration, It Might as Well Be Swing, was a more structured, swing-oriented set than Sinatra-Basie, and in many ways the superior album. The album consists of then-recently written songs, arranged as if they were swing numbers. The results work splendidly, not just because arranger/conductor Quincy Jones found the core of each of the songs, but because Basie and his band were flexible

Frank stated on the first album that he had waited twenty years for this moment to perform with Count Basie which was titled "Sinatra-Basie" with another chance coming two years later titled "It Might As Well Be Swing".
