Songs for Swingers is an album by trumpeter Buck Clayton which was recorded in 1958 and released on the Columbia label. Reception The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Everyone is in fine form on four of Clayton's originals and four swing standards (including "Mean to Me" and "Sunday"). Even though these middle-aged musicians were thought of by some as being a bit passé, they were all actually still in their musical prime at the time and were enthusiastic about their brand of small-group swing".
