Love this band.
They were part of the late 90s/early 2000s swing revival thing. Really fun grooves and the singer sounds kind of almost punky to me and it makes for a really infectious groove and vibe.
The bassline isn't improvised on the spot like most walking lines are - their tunes are highly orchestrated so it's more of a "bass part" than a true walking line, but it's so cool and so fun to play. Good practice for all of you starting out on your reading! Also, a fun exercise for your left hand if you try to stay in first position for almost the whole tune and work those "one-finger-one-fret" chops.
Enjoy everyone!
