The Jitterbug Vipers
Imagine a dimly lit nightclub in 1940’s Chicago. Wes Montgomery, Ray Brown are jamming with Count Basie. They meet up with Jerry Garcia in a dark alley. Then things get really smokin’ hot….you might say they get…SWINGADELIC. Vintage jazz, swing, it’s hot, sultry, and danceable, influenced by Billie Holliday, Charlie Christian and Count Basie’s rhythm section and the 30s & 40s Viper scene. Well, check it out. Close your eyes and you won’t believe your ears. Sarah Sharp, vocals (think Billie Holiday, Ricky Lee Jones, Nina Simone); Slim Richey, guitar (dangerous); and Francie Meaux Jeaux, upright bass (loves Ray Brown); Masumi Jones, incredible drummer we call the Geisha Girl Gone Wild
