The HighLife

Finally, with the conclusion to the swing-jazz-big band related posts, for now at least.  It's been a while coming, but i'm just glad i can get this out before the new year is upon us.  So while you're getting all decked out and classy for your new year's celebrations you can get down to these swanky sounds inspired by the men (and women) who were at the forefront of this genre of music, The Rat Pack.  No one partied harder, lived more fully, and loved more passionately than they did. To quote an article from about.com; "...however history judges them, their talent cannot be denied.  The last species of early 20th century American Man, they claimed their territory like gods."  For if they hadn't, the early 21th century American Man would be worser for it.  Welcome to The Jumpoff!

Swank

That'll do it then ladies and gents.  Stay cool.  Until next time, be easy.
