Egads! Neo-what?
Hahaha... Sorry, just had to poke fun with the anti-neo-swing snobbery... I would book Jonathan Stout and His campus Five... they're amazing! Also, Mora's Modern Rhythmists does the most accurate job of recreating styles of yesteryear... Stompy Jones if you want something jump bluesy ( and badass to...
