"I Love John Frigo...He Swings" was the debut album of jazz violinist Johnny Frigo for Mercury Records, though the album was more or less not noticed by the public upon release. It would be decades later that he would get the chance to record as a leader again, in the interim performing as an electric and double-bassist.
