| A brand new CD (May 2008) - the band's 2nd - featuring Sir
Jay and his swinging compadres. A smoking outfit from the South of Sweden.
Quotes on the band from Jalle Olsson's (Box Records' head honcho) writings on Sir Jay's website pre-"Blues for uncle Sam": "This is an exciting group stationed in the very south part of Sweden (Malmö). The orchestra is made up of seasoned professional musicians with a passion for the blues and swinging jive of the `40s and `50s, and are ready to deliver a sweaty show at any given moment - they surely knows how to entertain an audience!!!! They formed in 2001 and received fantastic reviews for their debut album "Let´s Jump Tonight!" (distribution Playground, Scandinavia). The Swedish bluesmagazine, "Jefferson", called it one of the best albums of the year [2002]. Sir J. and his gang are open for any kind of gig!!! They have played
all kinds of liveshows; jazz/bluesfestivals in Scandinavia, weddings,
smoky small joints….they´ve done it all. Nearly 150 shows
up to this very moment. These are fine people, a little crazy though!" |
