About this album
Tuxedo Junction II - Take The A Train is a sharp, genre-crossing set that brings big-band swing into the late-1970s disco era. Released in 1979, it draws on jazz, funk and soul with arrangements that rework standards such as Take The ‘A’ Train, Begin The Beguine and Night In Tunisia into slick, dancefloor-ready performances. The album’s appeal lies in its balance of familiar melody and rhythmic drive, showing how classic swing material could be refitted for a contemporary audience without losing its brass-led character. It stands as a lively example of the period’s crossover ambitions.
