Pop + Jazz = Swing is an album arranged and conducted by Benny Golson featuring performances recorded in 1962 and originally released on the Audio Fidelity label. The album utilised stereophonic sound to present a jazz group on the right channel and an 11-piece pop orchestra playing the same song or a related tune on the left channel which could be separated or mixed by the listener. The related jazz tunes are contrafact's or borrowed chord progressions where new melodies are overlaid on an existing harmonic structure. The jazz tunes were later released as Just Jazz! and both albums were combined on a CD reissue.
