About
Swing You Sinners is inspired by the collectivism heard in the early jazz recordings of Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet and Cab Calloway, and how these tunes can be brought kicking and screaming into the 21st century by a group of forward-thinking improvisers.
Born out of a love of Fleischer Studios’ dark, surreal animations which captured the spirit of depression-era New York City, the band tries to capture the same sense of anarchy and the joy of creativity which these animators first showed to the world in the late 20’s and 30’s.
