Cherry Poppin Daddies Zoot Suit Riot: The Swingin' Hits Of The Cherry Poppin' Daddies CD

The First Church Of Sinatra includes: Tim Allums, Mark Berney (trumpet); Ross Warren, Tim Wilcox (alto saxophone).

The late-'90s swing/lounge revival, exemplified by acts like Squirrel Nut Zippers, The Flying Neutrinos and Dave's True Story, gave a new generation of pop musicians access to a previously taboo (or at least untapped) vocabulary of tonal colors and arrangement and compositonal styles. The Cherry Poppin' Daddies take full advantage of that access on ZOOT SUIT RIOT, serving up a swinging, horn-driven set of tunes that favors high spirited, jazzy numbers over the guitar-based introspection of post-grunge rock & roll. Cuts like "Ding-Dong Daddy of the D-Car Line" and the title track keep things jumping in the tradition of Louis Jordan. Get hep, daddy.

Additional personnel includes: John Fohl, James Gossard (guitar); Brooks Brown, Scott Hall, Rex Trimm (alto saxophone); James Phillips, Adrian Baxter (tenor saxophone); Glen Bonney (trombone); Bud Chase (tuba); Chris Azorr, Dustin Lanker (keyboards); Dan Schmid (bass); Brian West, Tim Arnold (drums).

The Cherry Poppin' Daddies: Steve Perry (vocals, guitar); Jason Moss (guitar); Ian Early (alto & tenor saxophones); Sean Flannery (tenor saxophone); Dana Heitman (trumpet, trombone); Darren Cassidy (bass); Tim Donahue (drums).
