‘Around 1981 I was quite sick for a while and I swear my recovery was due partly to listening to old Louis Jordan records. I never planned to do a jump-blues/swing project; it snowballed from ‘let’s get a few guys together and do a few pub gigs for a laugh’ to an EP and then to an album and a tour. All in all a little musical vacation, from which I returned refreshed.’
