It's 1930's Kansas City. Lester Young and Count Basie are at a jam session. The joint is jumpin' so hard even the squares are poppin their fingers. Suddenly, in walks Ben Webster, followed by Illinois Jacquet, Buck Clayton, and Coleman Hawkins, and they all make some music together. Porkpie recreates that energy, that swing, that wonderful vibe. Porkpie's strong, swinging groove and danceable sound is a favorite among the Pacific Northwest's dedicated community of swing dancers and lindy hoppers.
