Description:
MUGZY'S MOVE is the second release from noted swingsters Royal Crown Revue. The album features some prime examples of this seven-piece ensemble's own brand of gangster-culture-laced-swing. There's the finger-snapping, bullet-flying groove of "Zip Gun Bop," complete with singer Eddie Nichols' between-verse, Joe-Pesci-like vocal chiding. Sinatraesque numbers like "Beyond the Sea" show the band's knack for catchy orchestration. They also provide opportunities for Nichols to show himself off as a serious crooner. Most of the songs on MUGZY'S MOVE are arranged to allow these very talented instrumentalists to strut their individual chops at any turn. When the ensemble turns up the tempo on "Park's Place," they maintain a seamless cohesion that's held down by the dance of Veikko Lepisto's fingers across the bass strings. Trumpeter Scott Steen gives a standout performance on the track. The band doesn't shy away from humor either. "Datin' with no Dough" explores the throes of being a "cat trying to court with no scratch." Fans of the neo-swing movement shouldn't miss MUGZY'S MOVE.
