Boney Fields & The Bone's Project - Red Wolf (2003)

Howlin' Fields

The wolf is howling and growling out there in the background, red like a chili pepper and hot as the infernos. On the cover, with his dark bowler hat, wicked eye and sharp teeth ready to tear your flesh, he's fronting a jungle jumble of fearsome musical animals, and from the CD disc he's throwing a threatening look at you.

This is not Howlin' Wolf but Boney Fields, and “Red Wolf” is a highly enjoyable album by the champions of funk jubilation, Boney Fields and his Bone's Project band, one of the baddest horn section on the circuit today (Fields on trumpet, Nadège Dumas on tenor sax, Max Pinto on baritone sax and Pierre Chabrèle on trombone).

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Live (2004)

► The album is available at the usual place...

Swing, swing, swing and... swing again ! 

Lovers of Cab Calloway's mischievous big band jump and swing should love BBVD just as well, especially on this rejoicing live album. The swing revival band, co-founded by singer-guitarist Scotty Morris and drummer Kurt Sodergren in Ventura, California, in 1989, was later joined by a solid cast of horn players, completed with a bassist, a pianist and a percussionist. During their residency at the Derby nightclub in Los Angeles, they reminded the world, in the midst of the grunge era, that it was still cool to swing. Since then Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (BBVD) has performed more than 2,600 shows over 22 years with a streak of 260 consecutive sold out concerts !
