"Texas Thunder Soul 1968-1974" by Kashmere Stage Band
Back in the 1990's swing music was the craze and I loved it. I love the big band sound and I loved the dancing.
NPR recently did a story on some high school band from Tejas called the Kashmere Stage Band. Their music was big band funk. Intrigued, I picked up the CD from Amazon...
Wow, is it GREAT! Hard to believe this was a HIGH SCHOOL band! It is also sad to think about how few actual musicians are in music today. Modern music appears to be dominated by pretty faces, almost nude musicians, and samples of the musicians of yesteryear.
I dont know if the money goes to a good cause, but pick up this KSB CD and treat yourself to the sound of an era when "playing music" meant actual instruments, not MP3 players. These kids rock.
