Red Young (vocals, piano, synthesizer); Cassie Miller (vocals); Lon Price (soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Jon Papenbrook, Lee Thornburg (trumpet); Doug Mathews (drums); Ramon Banda (congas, percussion).

The 10-piece swing band Red & The Red Hots formed in Texas in 1985. The group's lead singer/songwriter/producer/pianist Red Young moved the Red Hots' headquarters to L.A. three years later, where the band settled into its more-or-less permanent lineup: vocalists Rebecca Downs, Cassie Miller and Jennifer Griffin, saxophonist Keith Fiddmont, trumpet player Brian Swartz, drummer Randy Landas and a revolving cast of horn players, including Greg Smith, Lee Thornburg, Scott Englebright and Matt Zebley. Red & The Red Hots play regular dates in the West and Southwest, and released two albums, 1998's Boogie Man and the following year's Gettin' Around, both released on Young's own Red Young label. ~bio by Heather Phares

Notes: A swinging bunch of songs by the master of the new swing crowd from the boogie man. Once again accompanied by his backing band the Red Hots, singer/keyboardist/pianist/Hammond B-3 organist Red Young swings hard on Gettin' Around, a mixture of original tunes and classics from the golden age of jump blues and swing. It's similar to the group Young often gigs with, swing-revival mainstays the Royal Crown Revue, and it achieves its good-time goals with enthusiasm and energy. ~ Steve Huey
