Album Notes

Here's an album that's sure to make you smile and get your feet tapping...

Put an Aussie 1930s-style crooner, Greg Poppleton, with a band of swinging international jazz musicians and what do you get?

The most unique and toe-tappingest jazz release on CD Baby!

It's 1930s New York John Kirby Sextet meets contemporary swinging Aussie trad meets a vocalist who sounds straight out of the 30s with a 'G'day mate' accent

You won't get any further from Sinatra & Buble than this fellow. And you won't get any closer to real 30s vocal swing unless you're listening to a real 30s 78rpm

This is a must have CD to play to your friends

“And boy do these guys swing…Just TRY not to sway to the beat. I dare you!”
Gerard H Beulah - JazzReview.com (US)

With a fully researched, glossy 8-page booklet of song trivia and original 1920s & 30s photos...

"This album is not only about the aural experience. There is tremendous benefit in the CD jacket. It reads like a history of some of the biggest hits and most prominent composers of the early swing era. It also features unique period pictures and original artwork in the commercial style popular in the 1920s and 30s. These materials could almost be published as a book without the recording, and are a testament to Greg Poppleton's hard work on research and his strength as a producer. For swing enthusiasts the trivia alone is worth the sticker price, never mind all of the nice music"
Donny Harvey - MuzikReviews.com (US)

"Greg Poppleton captures the essence of the swing years with uncanny accuracy. 5 Stars"

"Yes, some people were born out of their time and the delightful Greg Poppleton is one of them. 3.5 stars out of 4"
