Colin James - Colin James & the Little Big Band #2 (1998)

The second album with The Little Big Band was released in 1998 under Warner Muscic Canada Ltd.
"Around 1995, Colin began to notice that his first Little Big Band record was in the playlists of dance clubs and swing societies around the states and in Europe. It seemed to be getting more play a couple years later and he decided it was time to do a follow up.

The songs on the LBB sequel are a wide range of classic, early rock and roll and swing to straight blues classics. Tenor sax, Greg Picallo, from Rhode Island's Room Full of Blues, who had provided many solos on the first LBB disc rejoined Colin. Also joining Colin were Kaz Kazanoff (baritone and tenor sax), Brian Casserly (trumpet), John Wolf (trombone) from St. Louis , and George Rains (Jimmy Vaughn,Boz Scaggs) on drums. The singles released were Let's Shout (Jackie Wilson), and C'mon with the C'mon (Cab Calloway). This album won a Juno for Producer of the Year". www.colinjames.com

Royal Crown Revue - King Of Gangster Bop (1991)

"The Royal Crown Revue (RCR) is a band formed in 1989 in Los Angeles, California. With the West Coast flanked by grunge bands to the north and hair bands to the south, singer EDDIE NICHOLS and tenor man MANDO DORAME decided it was time for something completely different. Drawing from collective roots in Southern California punk, rockabilly, East Side R&B and NYC street corner doo wop, the two began experimenting with a hybrid of roots styles, creating original music that drew its inspiration from the past, but was firmly placed in the present (and unknowingly) the future!

By 1991, RCR had released it's first album, KINGS OF GANGSTER BOP, and was ceaselessly touring America and Europe, playing hundreds of shows to fans thrilled to hear a new genre of American music. The band also caused a stir with their love for all things vintage. From razor-sharp double-breasted suits to fedoras, hand painted 40's ties, vintage instruments, cars and furniture - the band embraced the retro lifestyle to its fullest. In city after city, the band's enthusiastic approach inspired fans to make their own connections with classic American culture and thus began the scene that would soon become a full-scale movement. "
