27 minutes
The big band jazz and hot swing revivalists Squirrel Nut Zippers from Chapel Hill, North Carolina have always been a guaranteed good time since they broke through in the late 1990’s,with their platinum album Hot. Although they stopped recording around the turn of this century, they have returned to form with a brand new album, Beasts of Burgundy. It’s crammed full of the same swinging hot jazz of the roaring 1920's brass, banjo, explosions of fun! The Squirrel Nut Zippers play some of these new tunes in the studio. Watch the session live below (in two parts, due to unforeseen technical difficulties):

Eclectic!
Often eclectic; always interesting; always an adventure. I've been introduced to a lot of new music over the years.
