Lucian Cobb: trombone; Laura Windley: vocals, glockenspiel, ukulele; Aaron Hill: alto saxophone, clarinet; Keenan McKenzie: tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone, clarinet; Paul Rogers: trumpet; Ben Lassiter: guitar; Jason Foureman: bass; Aaron Tucker: drums. Recorded by Jason Richmond at The Fidelitorium, Kernersville, NC. North Carolina-based little big band plays hot jazz and swing from the 1920's, 1930's, and 1940's and original swing tunes on their second album.

I especially like the song "When I Get Low I Get High ", made famous by Ella Fitzgerald. That song is quite difficult to sing "correctly" - but here it sounds right and really nice - better than the Ella Fitzgerald-version! "Internet says", that song was written by Marion Sunshine, first recorded and released by Chick Webb and His Orchestra in 1936. Traditional Jazz! - here as a unique version. This entire album is a lot of fun! ~Werner Rohlfs
