about

Recorded Live In Seoul!

Exactly 2 years ago, the Swingtet members were all boarding planes from Austin, Chicago, Mexico City, Philadelphia, and Seattle.
It was exciting to have the same line up that had just released “The Road Is Leaving” and played Chicago Jazz Fest together.
We were en route to Seoul to play a week’s worth of gigs organized by Jongsu Baek and Lang Lang Song, with their dance event “Soul @ Seoul” at the center.
It was one of the best tours ever, oweing so much to Jongsu and Lang Lang’s incredible hospitality and great organization.

David Jellema was on duty with his Zoom recorder. However, these recordings weren’t made with an album in mind—they were just moments captured and preserved (the band wasn’t thinking about being recorded—the band played how it played, fueled by good vibes and Korean hot pot).
Recently, David was reminiscing and listening through his archives and he brought up the idea of releasing some of these sets, as they were especially good and especially good times.
I’m so glad he did.

Volume 1 is a “best of” from the week, minus the weekend. We tried to focus on presenting songs and arrangements that haven’t been released by the Swingtet before, though a couple of old ones insisted on being included!

All sales will go to support the musicians who played on the recordings.

This Year's Kisses
by Brooks Prumo Orchestra

supported by 40 fans who also own “From Seoul volume 1”

The laid-back groove of the Brooks Prumo Orchestra hits the sweet spot. This is fine swing without any try-hard hype. The studio mix is balanced, and it hops and slides like music should (unlike some other contemporary jazz). "Out of Nowhere" is outstanding: inspired arrangement, knockout playing, genuine emotion. The vocal numbers get better with every listen, and "Blue Lester" has about it a certain sunburn-on-your-skin mint julep nighttime ease. jakespatz
