Cats & Jammers pays tribute to the 1930s and 1940s with hot swing, low-down blues, and tunes by Duke Ellington and Louis Jordan. With Piper Heisig on bass, Sylvia Herold on guitar, and Tony Marcus on violin, guitar, and saxophone, the trio's soaring vocals and inventive arrangements bring to mind the Mills Brothers, the Boswell Sisters, and the Delta Rhythm Boys. From their 1940 Buick to their period clothing, the Cats evoke the bygone elegance of an era replete with timeless good taste. |
