Grammy nominated,
multi-platinum selling Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the incomparable kings of swing,
are readying the release of an all new album, "Louie, Louie,
Louie"—an electrifying celebration of jazz legends Louis Armstrong, Louis
Jordan and Louis Prima. On their
eleventh album and third for iconic label Savoy Jazz, the band is sharper than
ever as they pay homage to their jazz heroes. Produced by founder and lead
singer Scotty Morris and pianist and arranger Joshua Levy, the album reveals
the evolution of swing, jazz and popular music through the songs and
personalities of these three giants of American culture. Popmatters premiered their version of Louis
Armstrong's "Dinah" recently:
"Louie, Louie, Louie" will be available digitally,
on CD and vinyl LP on June 16th. A U.S.
tour will kick off in June, 2017.
Says Morris: "We really want people to know about these
great men that have so deeply influenced us as, and perhaps help spark a new
creative interest in them and their music."
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy consists of their original line-up
which includes Scotty Morris (lead vocals and guitar), Kurt Sodergren (drums),
Dirk Shumaker (double bass and vocals), Andy Rowley (baritone saxophone and
vocals), Glen "The Kid" Marhevka (trumpet), Karl Hunter (saxophones
and clarinet) and Joshua Levy (piano and arranger).
