After watching and listening to Imelda the other day, I got to thinking. What other female jazz rock and rollists are around that I like. Modern day people came back to the Squirrel Nut Zippers and B.E.D. I've spoken to members of B.E.D. in the recent years and they are great too, so if you don't know of them, you should check them out. Anyway, this isn't a competition as to who's female jazzy artists can out-do the rest, but rather a sharing expose` to share the love of this style of music.

I hope you enjoy it and start searching on your own.

Always liked that song. They do a killer "Blue Angel" too.

Bonedaddy, yeah, me too. I've also been into 1930's-40's swing since 1990 or so. Wow, that's 18 years already... I first got into SNZ when their Hell song came out. After that I've bought ever album since then. I was surprised that Ben Folds was a fan of their and actually asked them for their autographs. Ben Folds is cool too. I wish I could play with either of them live at least once before I die...

Squirrel Nut Zippers are really old school swing music IMO. Way better than the Cherry Poppin Daddy's.

I used to listen to the Squirrel Nut Zippers a lot. I need to dust off my old cds some time.

Thanks for the link Wenzel.

I always liked 'em. A shame their fortunes seemed to rise and fall with the 90's Swing Revival. Besides swing, they had a strong streak of "Old Time" in their music. James Mathus & His Knockdown Society weren't bad either.
