Their web site, www.swinglegacy.com gives details about payment options, plus you can sample sound clips from the CD.
This CD presents some of the most interesting and exciting items from The Swing Legacy's repertoire of original arrangements. Over half the songs feature vocalist Debby Larkin, whose sunny, commanding musical personality fits perfectly with the band's exuberant style. Many of the numbers have a pronounced Count Basie mood and swing.
The Swing Legacy demonstrates that musical creativity and artistic viability can be achieved today in a noncontemporary jazz idiom.
Their exciting original arrangements make the group sound larger than six pieces --they are essentially a little big band.
This is definitely hot jazz, not cool.
