" If ever there was a jazz ensemble with an appropriately descriptive name, this is it! These guys do love to swing...they play with the kind of unadulterated and unabashed gusto you tend to hear only in Dixieland bands or Traditional jazz groups.."Unlike many traditional Jazz bands, this is neither a preservationist nor a recreationist group... True, the two horn players can evoke some of their famous predecessors (Ben Webster and Charlie Shavers)...but that's more of a case of their chosen musical environment than emulation...So if you enjoy swing with a zing, you'll want to get " hep " to this band."
