My husband and I went to the Montreal Jazz Bistro last night to see Swing Rosie. I'd heard about this gig from one of the Rosies, Chantelle Wilson, who recently sang on my Plane Crazy demo session. She's the red head in the blond, brunette, redhead Andrews Sisters trio. It was packed! And what a great evening. We had an awesome table right in front of the performers!

The ladies (Kira Callahan, Shannon Butcher, and Chantelle Wilson), who were all dressed in black with long fuscia gloves, black forties pumps and "diamond" bracelets sang Andrews Sisters and The Boswell Sisters classics, backed by a hot swinging band -- Ka Cheong Liu (bass), Glenn Anderson (drums), William Sperandei (trumpet), and piano (I can't remember his name and he wasn't listed on the flyer -- so sorry!!). Some of my favorites included Elmers Tune, Rum and Coca-Cola and Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. All this for only $12 cover -- wow!

Swing Rosie is going into the studio next week to record their debut CD "Swing Cool, Swing Hot", set for release Spring 2005. Run out, buy it, and beat me daddy eight to the bar!
