Editorial Reviews
Ewan McNaught, Vegas Scotland, 9-01-01
Highly recommended. Excellent follow up to "GSE"." It's time the world switched on to the "Yalloppin' Hounds."
Product Description
The freshest musical entity for the new millennium. An innovative blend of the Hip-Hop attitude with real authentic Harlem Swing, as played by some of the best jazz musicians in the world today, who have paid dues with some of the Royalty of Swing, such as Lionel Hampton, the Louis Armstrong Band, Illinois Jacquet, and Panama Francis. They represent a return to truly original melodies, along with lyrics that are pertinent to life in the times we live in, rather than being retro. And...most of all, they swing their butts off!

New Yallopin City,Yalloppin' Hounds,Yalloppin Ent,Big-band with a twist. And they compare themselves to "Duke Ellington, Jill Scott and Wu-Tang Clan." Gotta love it. A new cross between traditional Harlem Swing and modern Hip-Hop sensibilities. Just try to listen to the first sound clip without smiling.,Jazz,Jazz Music,Pop,Retro Swing

Follow-up album a work of art.......2003-08-07
The lyrics are as usual beautiful and breathtaking and the musicianship is tight, the Mad Komposa's performances being no exception.
G-Clef's slice of life, original writing is a refreshing change to the countless cover bands trite renditions of classic swing songs that now typify the modern swing movement and cause the old masters to roll over in their graves.
The vocalist on this album is no other than Star Search Winner Vickie Natale, whose smooth melodic tones accentuate the solid musicianship. Peter Hartmann's Chet Baker-esque tones float lightly along the meloncholic track "You're Taken".
There is not a bad song on this album! However, this reviewer's personal favorites are Sunray and Letting Go.
Lord Sledge, Jeremy Bacon, and Herman X appear on this album as they did on GSE and their performances do not dissapoint. Mark McGowan, who also did a disc "Live at Showman's " with G-Clef is also showcased, as is the young, up-and-coming drummer, Marlon Sobol.
fantabulous classic.......2003-07-28
