    Valoración: GREAT

These musicians are a real hurricane, a perfect engine to produce swing, blues ballads, jazz and rhythm and blues with a terrific passion and a huge knowledge. Swingadelic give a professional and elegant playing of the old sound of those party dance vintage orchestras still valid for a generation who grew up and lived on that time, but also for the young generations who have had the chance to discovering them. The third cd of this small ‘big band’ gives us twelve excellent tracks directly rooted into old tradition and sound, from Count Basie to Duke Ellington and Ray Charles, together with original own songs written and arranged by double bass player and band’s founder Dave Post who leads with great commitment and care more than ten musicians playing together, which is something not easy at all. Only with tons of love, respect, enthusiasm and personality could have been done the piece of work i have on my hands, an ALBUM with capital letters. Ah! And once again Neal Pawley tastefully relives Marylin Monroe’s singing style in Percy Mayfield’s “Lost Mind”. Isn’t it, Dave?
