I'm looking for a band with a loud, good horn section, solid walking basslines, that don't suck nor have I previously listened to. Anything remotely skaish, branching into swing and jazz'd be terrific...please post... or completely disregard my request and fill this entire thread with desperate means to raise your post count and therefore credibility. Your choice.
