Swing is back.
It isn't just Grandma's style of music anymore. A group called Squirrel Nut Zippers has put the Ellington sound back on the Billboard charts, complete with string bass, trumpet, and banjo. Even the Hard Rock Caf is booking swing. Squirrel Nut Zippers takes more cues from Cab Calloway and Fats Waller than John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Their music exudes the echoes of a smoky jazz club, circa 1933.
