Trios and Bands in Bloomington, MN

Though
Lewis
played with the
Sam Morgan
big band in the 1920s, his singing, birdlike tone and artless-seeming style make him sound almost like a folk musician. Whatever, the band numbers -- with
Kid Shots Madison
or
Kid Howard
and the other usual suspects -- are delightfully familiar, and the trio cuts sound new. A little odd in spots --
"La Marseillaise"
!? -- it's still entirely beguiling. ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music
