Queen Porter Stomp uses their dirty swamp magic to shirk those blues. This is jazz whereswing is the key you play. They pack a punch with blazing horns that scream straight toyour soul, a banjo that exorcises demons on the wrong side of midnight and a ukulelesongstress that seduces like a warm summer’s day. Shine those shoes and undo that topbutton – if you’re just tapping those toes, then you’re in the wrong bar. Bring a picnic andenjoy the music.
