I Love John Frigo...He Swings
1957 studio album by Johnny Frigo / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I Love John Frigo...He Swings was the debut album of jazz violinist Johnny Frigo for Mercury Records.[1] Despite the high caliber of Frigo's collaborators, the album was more or less ignored on its release.[1] It would be decades later that he would get the chance to record as a leader again, in the interim performing mainly as a bassist rather than a violinist.[1]
