Producer's Notes: "Many of the top swing bands over the past decade have come out of France. While my French pronunciation is the worst, these bands are simply the best! Hailing from Paris, Hot Sugar Band is a favorite with Lindy Hoppers, featured at just about every dance event across Europe. During the pandemic the band produced an entertaining series of collaborative videos for their swinging public service announcement, “Stay Home” and most recently put out a fitting tribute to early Billie Holiday featuring vocalist Nicolle Rochelle. Looking back to 2017, the band recorded three original numbers as bonus material for their “Wondering Where” album, including my favorite “Showtime Swing”." - Jesse"
