Formed
less than two years ago Classic Swing is a band comprising experienced
musicians who have been there, done that and continue to do it. Stepping
Out with a Memory was recorded earlier this year at Ayr Jazz Club and
the CD is a fine example of the band in action. No fewer than thirteen tracks
across a generous seventy eight minutes' playing time feature all seven
musicians.
