Keep Swingin'

Keep Swingin is a 1960 album by American jazz trombonist Julian Priester, his debut as leader, which was recorded and released by the Riverside label.

The AllMusic site awarded the album 4 stars, with reviewer Scott Yanow calling it a "swinging, modern, mainstream session".

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings described the album as "an excellent debut," featuring "short, well-crafted tunes with nicely defined shapes."

A writer for Billboard noted that Priester "impresses greatly" on the album, and commented: "He is as much at home with his inventive, ballad improvising, as he is on the up-tempo items. He has tone and technique, and this set gives promise of fine things."

François van de Linde of Flophouse Magazine remarked: "The stars stood in the right spot, the time was right, the guys were in sync, in a happy mood, comfortable... the mood is right. The session is relaxed yet urgent."
