This act specializes in swing music. I think that when they embrace that, and particularly the jazzy, blues side of it is when they excel. When they move toward other ends of the spectrum, they fall a little short. That said, this is never weak. It just that some parts work better than others. If you dig cool retro music of the jazzy variety, you are likely to find something special about this.

Less bluesy, the old jazz concepts are still in charge here. This doesn't have the same level of energy the opener did, and I think it suffers a little from that. It's not a bad tune, by any means. It just feels like a bit of a let down from the one that preceded it. That said, I dig the guitar solo.
