Details:
Listening to Eight to the Bar is a lot like driving along a time-warped highway precisely halfway between Count Basie's Kansas City and Fats Waller's Harlem, where the car radio picks up everything from "Take the A Train" to "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B". Their original material, like their outlandish wardrobes and onstage choreo, is a colorful mix of forties jive and fifties jump blues. With their female vocals, saxophone, guitar, bass, keyboards, and drums, this unique sextet pack a musical and visual wollop not seen in New England since the group's inception in 1975.
