The music on The Swingin's Mutual!, a dozen selections featuring the George Shearing Quintet includes six that have vocals by a young Nancy Wilson, and has been reissued on CD by Capitol with five additional tracks. This was one of Wilson's most jazz-oriented dates (even if she was never a jazz singer) and is highlighted by her vocals on &The Nearness of You& and &The Things We Did Last Summer& along with instrumental versions of &Oh! Look at Me Now,& &Blue Lou& and &Lullaby of Birdland.&
