Borklog: One entry
27 November 2001
I've been seriously enjoying the music of the Squirrel Nut Zippers, retro-30's "Hot" Jazz, with lyrics and sensibilities planted firmly in the cynical 90s and 00s. I've found a nice paper on how their Hot Jazz style relates to Swing; and a feature on The old-time art of Squirrel Nut Zippers their
audience ranges in age from 17-year-olds to septagenarians.
Younger crowds even dress the role in three-piece suits, fedoras
and evening gowns, dancing gracefully to the Zippers' infectious,
swinging sounds. It's almost enough to strike five years of torn
flannel and mosh pits from the collective memory.
