The new album "Shout 'em!" features all the following tracks, below, except "Take Her back". The tracks should start playing automatically in sequence, however, you can just click on a specific track to here that song and you will hear the first minute, or so, of each track:



That’s A Plenty
A classic 1914 romp by Lew Pollack that I remember listening to when I was a kid – and I think it was probably a Lew Pollack recording.

Basin Street Blues
Probably the most popular blues in this style - along with Tin Roof Blues. Our arrangement is inspired by that of Bobby Hackett and Jack Teagarden from the famous record “Coast Concert”. 

Shine
Arranged by Phil and me when we were at music college in Leeds, and it was one of the most well-received songs from our college band – getting quite a bit of local air-play.

Black and Tan Fantasy
A delightful arrangement by Phil. When transcribing arrangements from record at college, he was once caught using a tea cup hit with a spoon as his tonal reference point!

Ice Cream
George Lewis made a famous recording of this, which inspired Chris Barber, which in turn inspired us to do our own version.

Creole Love Call
A chance for us to change the sound of the band - using tenor sax, guitar and double bass – and an effective contrast to the out and out New Orleans style.

Isle of  Capri
A touch of the Caribbean from the Italian Mediterranean, and another chance for us to play with a different feel.

Shout `Em, Aunt Tillie
An arrangement of mine from 2006 of the 1930 Ellington composition. This swing tune is a particular favourite of the band.

Ory`s Creole Trombone
I had to do this one. It is the classic New Orleans trombone feature – written by Kid Ory and originally called “Sliding”.

Down By The Riverside
This New Orleans sing-a-long standard is always a crowd-pleaser.
