I'm not sure, but I think you can get a good idea of what this album is about by just looking at the name/cover. Pinstriped zoot suits, slicked hair, snappy tasches, and goddamn he's a hep cat type thing.It's like very swing influenced punk. Sort of similar to some rockabilly, and made without a brass instrument in sight.
Pretty damn swinging, and enjoyable.
He's released another album since, but that was more of the rock/pop type swing, and this one is a little more out there.
Still good, though.
And I'm off to a jazz night come tues, guys I'm so totally uni right now.
YOU GOTTA SWING, SWING, SWING!
(yes, he covers 'Sing, Sing' by Benny Goodman on the last track, it's filTHAY, man.)
