The latest revival of pres jazz has produced a slew of young bands. Two iterations of the sextet appear here, with co-founders James Williams trumpet, vocals and Sam Friend banjo plus Joshua Marotta percussion being the only members to span both groups. The album title, Slightly Concussed , drolly references a gruesome car accident Williams experienced in August , after the music on this album was recorded. The trumpeter, who broke his neck, feared he might never play again. With his gravelly vocals and expressive blowing, Williams is a musical clone of Armstrong. A previous version earned the Donkeys more than a million views on YouTube. Ever since the first early-jazz revival in the late s, critics have dismissed Dixieland and trad-jazz as retro reenactment.

Led by trumpeter and vocalist James Williams, the band offers a fresh approach to old favorites by Louis Armstrong, King Oliver and other greats from the s—s. This may give you the idea that the Swamp Donkeys thrive on TV-related gimmicks, yet that could not be further from the truth. Despite her reluctance in admitting it, Shawkat is a fine singer with a deep-rooted and genuine respect for the music she helps bring to life. This is a first-rate traditional jazz show.

I wish I could reach out to this girl and tell her not to pass up an awesome guy. It's really cool to be able to connect with someone who shares all of those things with me. My advice would be to date him when he has free time. It's a great idea to know where you stand so that you'll be prepared when this comes up in conversation. I've been married to a cardiologist for 30 years. Mormon's view marriages outside the temple to be counterfeit and you can't get into the temple without converting to the religion. Hi, I am so glad to know that I am not alone. They nicely include all the pictures we grew up with on how the book was translated and admit that isn't how it happened. I just feel relieved that there are others of you out there in the same boat as me. The pressure is mounting for Mormon women to cave in to Western degeneracy, and men are at a loss for what to do about it.
