Paul and his Gang play the music of Bix


I received a wonderful package in the post today from Sweden from "Paul and his Gang". The band plays wonderful recreations of Bix Beiderbecke tunes and the three CDs I will be featuring over the next year on TJR are "Futuristic Rhythm", "Take your tomorrow and give me today" and "Modernistic Jazz from the Twenties". Each CD is a little goldmine of white 1920's and early 30's jazz with precision playing, reading and recording techniques. I encourage you to visit the band's website, www.paulandhisgang.com for a look at the CDs, musicians and find out where the band can be seen playing. The band is based in Malmö and if you ever get a chance to hear them take it! Bix Lives!!
