Various Artists - Dime Notes (CD)

Facts "London's most stylish vintage Jazz band!" (Evan Christopher) Amongst vintage jazz bands, The Dime Notes have given themselves the mission of unearthing early pre-swing jazz tunes, dusting them down, reinventing them, and taking them to a wide audience. In so doing they pay tribute to the vanguard of New Orleans jazz, Jelly Roll Morton, Sidney Bechet, King Oliver, and the list goes on. The hippest of the hip, they are the first vintage jazz band with an eponymous organic chocolate bar and they deliver vintage jazz in typically elegant, British style. As London becomes the ebullient new jazz capital, the Dime Notes show that the history of the music is still relevant in all the excitement.
