Our Take

Bob Scobey & His Frisco Band are back with Vol. 2, and this time they're bringing the swing with a capital 'S'! From the toe-tapping rhythms to the blazing brass, this album has got us busting out our best Lindy Hop moves in the living room.

Starting off with the infectious track "When the Saints Go Marching In", Bob Scobey & His Frisco Band set the tone for a rollicking good time. The band's energy is infectious, and you can't help but get swept up in the joyous vibe they bring to each and every track.

With their signature New Orleans sound and impeccable musicianship, Bob Scobey & His Frisco Band take us on a journey through the swinging streets of San Francisco. Tracks like "Copenhagen" and "Jada" showcase the band's tight-knit chemistry and undeniable talent.

But it's not all high-energy numbers; tracks like "St. Louis Blues" and "Basin Street Blues" slow things down to let the band's soulful side shine through. Bob Scobey's trumpet work is simply sublime, and his bandmates bring their A-game to every performance.

Overall, Vol. 2 is a must-listen for anyone looking to inject some fun into their music collection. Bob Scobey & His Frisco Band prove once again that they are masters of the swing genre, and we can't wait to see what they have in store for us next.

Bob Scobey

Led by the eponymous Bob Scobey, this merry band of musical misfits took the world by storm with their infectious blend of Dixieland jazz, swing, and blues. With their lively brass section, toe-tapping rhythms, and playful melodies, Bob Scobey & His Frisco Band were a force to be reckoned with on the West Coast music scene. Their live performances were legendary, transforming dingy jazz clubs into raucous dance halls where everyone from beatniks to businessmen could let loose and swing the night away. Scobey himself was a larger-than-life character, with a penchant for flashy suits, slicked-back hair, and a trumpet that could charm the birds out of the trees. His dynamic stage presence and witty banter endeared him to audiences far and wide, making him a household name in the jazz world. While Bob Scobey & His Frisco Band may not have achieved the same level of mainstream success as some of their contemporaries, their influence on the jazz scene cannot be overstated. They paved the way for countless musicians to explore the boundaries of traditional jazz, blending genres and pushing the envelope in ways that were unheard of at the time. So if you're in the mood for some good old-fashioned jazz with a modern twist, look no further than Bob Scobey & His Frisco Band. Their music is a toe-tapping, hip-swinging delight that is sure to put a smile on your face and a beat in your step.
