Dish up some red beans and rice and hold on as New Orleans trumpeter Ruffins and his band, the Barbecue Swingers, serve you a plate full of total feel-good, first-class Crescent City jazz. It’s brassy, sassy, and playful. Recorded live with lots of crowd noise – they are having one hell of a party at this place. Watch for applause and speaking at beginning/end of tracks. 1. One minute spoken introduction. The crowd loves this guy. *2. Sweet trumpet leads this tropical mid/upbeat sway. Fun vocals. 3. A classic ballad gets swinging w/hip vocals & cool keyboard solo. *4. Classic upbeat brass jam. Let the parade begin! 5. Childlike vocalist (his daughter?) on a downtempo classic. 6. Up/mid w/fun vocals (crowd sings along). Great trumpet. *7. Another fun tune, mid/up w/solid brass adding spice. *8. Lazy, sweet, and charming w/funny lyrics. 9. Upbeat and catchy w/some scatting & a cool sound. 10. Mid/upbeat w/a hint of 70’s funk. Great showcase for his horn. 11. Relaxed, midtempo w/some good solos from the band. *12. Mid/upbeat that gets into a cool groove. Some serious horn. 13. Mostly midtempo w/lots of crown action. A soul/funk classic. |
