It is always pleasant to listen to every new proposal coming from this fantastic piano player called Sue Palmer who, once again, gives us a varied selection of big band blues and swing as we are used to find in her recordings In a small street near Coast Highway 101 in San Diego, California, one can find the Thunderbird Studio where engineer Thomas Yearsley (bass player of The Paladins) has devoted himself to produce and restore the analogue tape where was recorded the amazing concert Sue Palmer And Her Motel Swing Orchestra performed in that studio in front of a selected small audience who had the great chance to be there and enjoy that magnificent show Thomas has managed to turn this live recording to a real gem that becomes something wonderful and full of an incredible magic, which faithfully reflects all the jump, swing, rock and roll, blues, boogie woogie joy and communicative happiness of those dance orchestras which were so in fashion during the 40’s Twelve songs coming from such great composers like Buddy Johnson, Benny Carter, Earle Hagen or Fats Waller among others, together with a couple of Sue’s own compositions and two more by Willie Dixon and Ike Turner An impressive album where swing flows out thanks to an always inspired and elegant Sue Palmer, backed by her faultless orchestra which manage to give the most overflowing energetic arrangements along the whole recording
