Rating 4.0 Sound Ideas / Half Satin Half Latin
Music Lover: Al Ibarguen from Wilton, ME -- May, 13, 2003

The BEST album Les and Larry ever made...I've been waiting for it on CD for years!!!

Rating 5.0 Gems For Sure
Music Lover: Laercio Monzani Junior from Campinas, SP - Brazil -- May, 5, 2003

Two classic albums from the late 50's ("Sound", side by side with brother Larry) and early 60's ("Half") that will delight all Elgart fans.
Slow ballads, soft swings and a touch of Latin, all presented with the unique sound of the saxes, trombones and trumpets created by the Elgart brothers in the early 50's.
Gems for sure. (Laercio Monzani Jr.)
