It's not very often that I pick up a CD & enjoy every single track on it, but it has happened with this one! JJ has a very unique sound which incorporates Rockabilly, Blues & Swing. Not many bands can pull that mix off well, but with them this is a magical combo. ...And as if the entire CD isn't catchy enough, their remake of WASP's "I Wanna Be Somebody" is an absolute gem in the remake department! I always thought it was a great song, but JJ went & improved it! In summary: "Excellent"!

I played in this band for over two years. even tho I invested in and played on this recording, I've not received one red cent, never seen any contracts, despite having asked repeatedly to see them. but gee, they keep selling the cd. not nice people. the jerks running this band destroyed it (and a lot more than that, but I'm too nice to go into it; let them live in their own swill) with their terrible egos and mad selfishness. don't give money to these creeps. pity them and keep your money instead.

This cd rocks! The best swing band I've heard since Benny Goodman. It's by far the most original swing band I've heard in a long time. A must buy!

this band has a horrible orchestra. It is like some lame rock and roll, not swing at all.Weak songs with lame lyrics. I tell all you swing cats out there take my advice stay away from this band. It is boring and not danceable. It is trying to change the music and boy it....

| Ruined by track #14 Come Back to Bed "special effects" |

There are many variations of swing music avaiable at the moment, and this is one. There are other interpretations that I prefer - Brian Setzer, Indigo Swing, BESO & SN Zippers ... but this one was quite acceptable. But ... track 14 Come Back to Bed ruined it because it had a ridiculous change in tempo, followed by quite serious static which sound like the needle finishing on a vinyl record, followed by a long silence. The static is that bad, I wonder if it is damaging my Axis LS88 hi-fi speakers. Sometimes these "effects" can come off successfullly, and there is always a temptation to use them, but I think it failed badly in this case, and ruined the CD.
