Girls From Mars (Wendi Bourne, Lauren Janson & Annie Patterson) have been singing Jazz & Swing for over 30 years. Their much anticipated CD, Return to Planet Swing, is now available here! Produced by Glenn Barratt & Wendi Bourne and recorded at 2x Grammy award winning engineer/producer Glenn Barratt's Morning Star Studios. Barratt captures perfectly the deep, swingin' groove that has become the band's hallmark.

Their previous CD, "Planet Swing" has been selling around the world for the past decade, loved by those who appreciate old swing music that is not "schmaltzed up". The Girls call it "Cave Man Jazz". On both "Planet Swing" and "Return to Planet Swing", a three or four part rhythm section holds down the groove and sets up the pocket - the vocals deepen the pocket. Great instrumental soloists are the "cherry on top" !

The Martians are accompanied by some of the best in the business on this record: Ralph Gordon - bass, Howard Sitron - trumpet, Myles Rothwell and Matt Scarano - drums, Dave Posmontier - piano, Tom Mitchell - guitar, Ron Kerber - Sax and the list goes on. The Girls From Mars' stellar three part harmony can be heard on such tracks as Let Me Off Uptown, Hit That Jive Jack, Blue Drag, Take the A Train, Sunny Side of the Street and more.

Girls from Mars capture the essence of a music that was born in smoky bars in the 1930's. True to that tradition, their intuitive harmonies are a joyous remembrance of the swing era. Material includes songs recorded by: The Boswell Sisters, Cats 'n the Fiddle, The Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, The Andrews Sisters, Louis Armstrong.

Wendi Bourne, Lauren Jansen and Annie Patterson are the core of the group. Singing together since 1983, they have developed a way of singing together that is truly inspiring for everyone who loves great singing and a groovin' beat! Swing music is their true love, as is evident on their recording, Planet Swing. THE BAND is made up of: Wendi Bourne (guitar/vocal), Lauren Jansen (snare/vocal), Annie Patterson (vocal), Ralph Gordon (bass), Steve Jones & Tom Petroski (piano), Paul Grant (tpt) and Paul Butler (clarinet).
