Swing's Our Thing

Swing's Our Thing is an album by American jazz saxophonist Johnny Hodges and pianist Earl Hines featuring performances recorded in 1967 and released on the Verve label.

Reception
The AllMusic site awarded the album 3 stars stating, "The jumping tunes are given concise performances (six songs are under three minutes long and none are longer than 4:10), but the musicians take advantage of every second they have on this rather brief album. ...this is a notable obscurity from some of jazz's all-time greats".
