I Big Bad Voodoo Daddy sono una formazione storica, dedita al revival dello swing, del blues, del jive. Una band che suona cose antiche ma in modo spigliato e moderno, con una sezione ritmica fomidabile ed una parte flatistica energica. In questo album, il dodicesimo della loro discografia, i ragazzi di Scotty Morris e Joshua Levy, omaggiano tre dei loro maestri assodati: Louis Armstrong, Louis Jordan e Louis Prima. Il re del jazz, il creatore del Jumpin Jive ed il debordante trombettista cantante italo americano che ha interpretato vari generi musicali, dallo swing al rock and roll. Un disco spumeggiante con brani noti e non: Oh Marie, Jimp Jive an Wail, Cho Cho Ch'Boogie, Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens, When The Saints Go Marching In e via di questo passo.
Made in the United Kingdom.
