Grammy nominated, multi-platinum selling Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the incomparable kings of swing, are readying the release of an all new album, Louie, Louie, Louie — an electrifying celebration of jazz legends Louis Armstrong, Louis Jordan and Louis Prima. On their eleventh album and third for iconic label Savoy Jazz, the band is sharper than ever as they pay homage to their jazz heroes. Produced by founder and lead singer Scotty Morris and pianist and arranger Joshua Levy, the album reveals the evolution of swing, jazz and popular music through the songs and personalities of these three giants of American culture.
Louie, Louie, Louie will be available digitally, on CD and vinyl LP on June 16th. A U.S. tour will kick off in June 2017. All iTunes pre-orders come with three tracks immediately — “Whistle Stop,” Oh, Marie” and “Dinah.”
“We really want people to know about these great men that have so deeply influenced us as, and perhaps help spark a new creative interest in them and their music,” Morris states.
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy consists of their original line-up which includes Scotty Morris (lead vocals and guitar), Kurt Sodergren (drums), Dirk Shumaker (double bass and vocals), Andy Rowley (baritone saxophone and vocals), Glen “The Kid” Marhevka (trumpet), Karl Hunter (saxophones and clarinet) and Joshua Levy (piano and arranger).
